For BBC Countryfile Live, the Roadshow selected a set of activities themed around the interests of the TV show, including:
- A modern water wheel, river management technologies and a chance to see the effect of beavers on the environment from the Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Infrastructure Systems (CDT-SIS).
- A scale Wind Tunnel in which visitors will be able to build and test their own aerodynamic design. In association with the University’s National Infrastructure Lab, part of the UK Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure & Cities (UKCRIC).
- The very popular Stem Cell Mountain, designed by researchers in the University’s Bone and Joint Research Group as a way of discussing advances in regenerative medicine with the public. It was built by Winchester Science Centre and is housed at the Centre when it’s not on the Roadshow.
