Families are invited to explore the future at a city-wide science festival.
The Bradford Science Festival will take place during the October half-term from October 25 to November 2, and will be held at venues across the city.
Organised by the National Science and Media Museum, this year's event will feature an expanded programme to celebrate Bradford's year as the UK City of Culture.

"This year's festival looks to the future, exploring cutting-edge technology across tech, fashion, climate, sound, and food.
"This year's headline exhibition, Living Dots, is a testament to that, transforming data taken from Born in Bradford research into an interactive experience that helps us imagine and shape the future of our city.
"As well as in the museum, we will be getting out with activities in The Broadway, Darley Street Market, Thornbury Centre and SHINE West Bowling."

The headline exhibition, Living Dots: Nature, People and Place, will open on October 24.
Created by data visualisation studio Tekja, the immersive experience uses Born in Bradford data to create glowing dot visualisations based on visitor feedback about wellbeing and green spaces.
In the Future Tech zone, visitors can take part in a virtual reality experience set in 1965 Antarctica, explore clean energy with Cummins, and try a drone challenge set in the year 2125.
The Broadway will host the Future Fashion zone, featuring a live art performance by Jeremy Hutchison and workshops on clothing waste.
The Thornbury Centre will focus on climate action, including a seagrass seed bag activity with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and a climate game developed with the BD3 community.
At Darley Street Market, the Future Food zone will explore sustainable ingredients and new food technologies, with demonstrations from the University of Leeds and a science show from the Royal Institution.

Visitors can also explore devices designed by University of Bradford students to highlight how technology can improve everyday life.
