Create a mini ecosystem in a terrarium and contribute to a vibrant mural celebrating the Kelvin River! Explore its wildlife, history, and habitats through hands-on creativity while learning about local ecology and conservation in this engaging, community-driven activity with researchers from the University of Glasgow.

Kelvin Explorers: Dive Into River Life! was developed as part of Glasgow Science Festival in Action. A training scheme run by GSF to support University of Glasgow PhD students to develop their public engagement skills. The team of PhD students from the Colleges of Science & Engineering and Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences were briefed to create family friendly activities linked to the festival theme, Glasgow Celebrates. Yufan Chen, James Stephenson, Claire Gould, Arjana Kolnikaj, Paveekorn Supteranon, Kirsty Arnott and Lazaaro Mujumbusi did an amazing job and we hope you enjoy the activities.
