January 18, 2025

Science Oxford Centre

Ages 9-12

Get ready for the Big Garden Birdwatch and create your own bird survey with ‘App Lab’. Our tech-twitching citizen scientists will design and code their app using blocks or text, and can even share with family and friends. See what birds are at the top of the pecking order in the new year, and take part in the world’s largest garden wildlife survey!

Big Garden Birdwatch (24-26 January), spend an hour watching birds in your garden, from your balcony or in your local park, and record how many you can see. Some native species have been declining across the UK, so let’s do our bit to help our feathered friends.

Suitable for ages 9-12
£14 per club ticket (includes Eventbrite booking fee) includes one child + accompanying adult.
