A seed snail (cardboard and compost wrapped in a spiral), sitting on a cardboard sign saying as such.
A small hand, holding a wooden spoon, spreading compost onto a plastic strip that is used in making seed snails.
Two children scooping and spreading compost onto plastic sheeting, an esential step in making seed snails.
It's the last couple of days of the #FestivalOfTomorrow and we're at STEAM, making seed snails.
It's been great to see so many families engaging in the activities on offer from so many different groups.

Great finale to the #FestivalOfTomorrow with Harjinder Sembhi, Emily Dowd and Claire MacIntosh. They explain how satellite sensors are being used to track methane emissions at hotspots such as oil and gas facilities, and gave a presentation on the role of satellites in monitoring greenhouse gases.
Yesterday, Alberto Giubilini and Chris Register from the UOI were at the #festivaloftomorrow to discuss how to engage with disagreement, polarisation and uncertainty. It was an engaging session!
