Robert is delighted to be speaking as part of the Hay Festival’s programme for schools this year on  Thursday 27 May 2021 at 9am.

The 2021 programme for schools has been created especially for digital audiences with a vibrant blend of events such as, creative writing workshops, inspiring authors filmed on location, and entertaining, thought-provoking performances.

Robert will be speaking about two of his recent books, Ask a Scientist and Inventors.   Are you constantly puzzled by why certain things happen or why our bodies work in the way they do? Or have you been working on an invention during lockdown and you’re keen to hear more about some of the greatest inventors of all time – including the really obscure ones? Robert will share his favourite science stories, answer some tricky questions and explain why science is so important in our everyday life.
