To officially kick off British Science Week, which in 2024 has the theme of 'Time', the Royal Observatory Greenwich will host an extra-special morning assembly led by our Curator of Time Emily Akkermans, featuring special guest The Dad Lab!
We’ll take primary school students across the UK on a journey exploring the origins of telling the time, and how time-telling instruments have evolved.
We’ll also find out what solutions inventors and innovators of the past came up with to measure time, help navigators at sea, and standardise time – ensuring people in and across communities were using the same or similar time.
