Award-winning writer Isabel Thomas has a secret to share: Science isn’t about knowing facts or wearing a lab coat. It’s about asking questions!

Why do we need eyebrows? Are feelings made of atoms? Could I swim in ice cream? What’s the world’s worst smell? Isabel has collected children's most curious conundrums in The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions, a Guardian Children's Book of the Year.

Help Isabel explore the answers with interactive challenges and bring your own bamboozling brainteasers. An event for everyone who won’t take ‘I don’t know’ for an answer.
