Playful Cities at Edinburgh International Science Festival

Tine will present her research at the Playful Cities panel and show Catch Me Now in Edinburgh at Summerhall (Main Hall) on Saturday 26 March 2016.

In the past play was rarely thought of as an activity for adults, however this is changing as science reveals how important it is for our minds. Pervasive Media Studio Producer Verity McIntosh will discuss the annual Playable City Award and will be joined by Dr Amanda Seed, lecturer in psychology and neuroscience and Dr Tine Bech, play researcher and artist, in an event hosted by Francesca Perry, social and community editor for Guardian Cities.

Edinburgh International Science Festival 2016 explores how science, technology, engineering and design have the potential to improve the world we live in and the way we live within it. Explore the UK’s largest science festival with over 270 events for families and adults. Our vibrant and varied programme includes everything from fun family days out to talks and discussions from pioneering thinkers.
