Write Your Own Science Poetry
Teens | Adults

Create your own poetry inspired by scientific observations, imagery and vocabulary.


Join Rachel Rayner, Science Explainer on a whimsical journey through the realms of science poetry. We’ll dive into the rules and methods of poetry (so we know what we want to break) and enjoy some highlights from the thriving science poetry scene. We will discuss some new science research and write creatively from a plethora of stimuli. Participants will discover how to fold scientific shine or poetic flourish into their own writing – perhaps even finding new sources of inspiration.

Important Information: Bring writing materials and paper/notebook.

Optional: Bring any favourite poetry examples, or favourite scientific objects/topics/research/subjects
