Have you ever wondered what’s actually happening inside a flickering flame? It turns out a simple candle has a lot of secrets to share!
Join Megan O’Keeffe from UL Research Institutes for an eye-opening adventure into the world of fire science. We’re going to “pull back the curtain” on how fire works, why it behaves the way it does, and how it’s changing in our modern homes. It’s a fun, fast-paced look at how you can become a fire-safety superhero in the 21st century!
Grab some lunch in our Cafe and bring your biggest questions – it’s time to ignite curiosity!
