The secrets of the superheroes are coming to Pembrokeshire, as children at schools in Tenby and Pembroke Dock learn about flight, x-ray vision and saving the world.
Hands-on experiments, video presentations and a host scientist from the multi-award-winning 'science made simple' team will combine to create the show Who Wants to be a Superhero?
The show will be performed for pupils, aged seven to 11, at St. Teilo's Catholic Primary School, Tenby, on January 6, and St. Mary's RC Primary, Pembroke Dock, on January 7, as part of a Wales-wide tour, supported by Women into Science and Engineering (WISE) thanks to funding from the Welsh Assembly Government.
"The show is designed to excite young people about the world's real superheroes - the scientists who enable us to fly, to see deep into space and harness renewable energy," said science made simple's founder, Wendy Sadler.
"Who Wants to be a Superhero shows pupils the kind of exciting and important careers that science and engineering offer - and that these areas are increasingly for girls as well as boys!"
A Welsh Assembly Government spokesperson said: "Activities like Who Wants to be a Superhero are important in fostering young people's interest in and engagement with science and engineering - which is important for the future of Wales and the wider world."
