People are being called upon to choose items to be included in a time capsule which will be buried within the newly refurbished Aberdeen Science Centre.
Pupils of St Peter’s Primary School have drawn up a shortlist objects they feel reflect life in Aberdeen in 2019 – which includes smartphones, currency and toys.
Liz Hodge, chief executive of Aberdeen Science Centre, said: “We knew technology would be a popular choice, but some of the other suggestions took us completely by surprise – we didn’t expect a hoover.
“Now we’ve compiled and shortlisted the entries, it’s up to the public to vote on what the contents should be.”
From this Saturday until Saturday, October 26, the public can view the list of items online before popping into Aberdeen Science Centre’s temporary space at 107 George Street to register their choices.
People can place their vote via the centre’s social media channels.
