Croucher Science Week 2025

  • Keep Space Tidy.

    Join Huw James in Keep Space Tidy, an eye-opening film about the growing problem of space junk. From broken satellites to tiny pieces of debris, Huw explains how this clutter is making it harder for scientists and astronauts to do their work—and why it matters to us on Earth. With clear examples and smart solutions, the film shows why it's time to look after space, just like we look after our planet.

  • Whale Tales

    Join marine biologist Dr. Natalie Sinclair, Whale Tales takes you on an exciting journey off the coast of Tenerife to meet the whales and dolphins that call these deep waters home. Natalie uses underwater microphones to listen to whale song and explores how scientists track and protect these incredible creatures. Packed with real science, amazing wildlife, and ocean adventure, Whale Tales is a fun and inspiring film for curious young minds.

Take a deep dive into the world of whales and dolphins with marine biologist Dr. Natalie Sinclair in Whale Tales—a fun, fact-packed adventure set in the stunning waters of Tenerife. Aboard a quiet, electric research boat, Natalie gets up close with these incredible ocean giants, using special underwater microphones called hydrophones to listen to their songs and sounds.

Along the way, you'll discover why whales are so important to the health of our oceans, how scientists study them without disturbing their natural behaviour, and what we can all do to protect them from threats like climate change, noise pollution, and plastic waste.

With amazing wildlife, cool science tech, and real whale calls, Whale Tales is an inspiring reminder that the ocean needs our help—and that even small actions can make big waves. Perfect for curious young minds who love nature, science, and a little splash of adventure!

TRAILER

Keep Space Tidy.

Join Huw James in Keep Space Tidy, a powerful short film that explores the hidden but growing problem of space junk. As thousands of new satellites are launched to connect and support life on Earth, old and broken pieces of equipment are left behind, turning space into a crowded and increasingly dangerous place. In this film, Huw travels to Tenerife—home to some of the clearest skies on Earth—to show how orbital debris is already disrupting astronomy and threatening future space missions. Through interviews, demonstrations, and real satellite images, the film explores how even tiny fragments can cause huge problems, how satellite re-entry may be affecting our atmosphere, and why international cooperation is urgently needed. With a focus on solutions like the European Space Agency’s Zero Debris Charter and a call for a new Sustainable Development Goal for space, Keep Space Tidy highlights how we can balance innovation with responsibility—and why the next generation of scientists and engineers will be key to keeping the final frontier safe for everyone.

OBSERVATORY TOUR

Keep Our Arctic Skies Tidy.

Explorethe intersection of space sustainability, polar orbits, and the fragile beauty of the Arctic. The film highlights how increasing satellite traffic and space debris are beginning to impact the skies above the poles — raising urgent questions about visibility, environmental responsibility, and the need to protect even the most remote parts of our planet from orbital pollution.
