Open Doors at Green Templeton
Green Templeton was pleased to welcome members of the public to the college again as part of Oxford Open Doors on Sunday 10 September .
There were space-based hands-on activities including scale models of the planets, a solar telescope, gravity ball experiments and an infrared camera. Plus astronomically-themed crafts, a treasure hunt in the gardens. More about Green Templeton and astronomy.
