For Schools and Public
We’d love to talk!
We are passionate about what we do and keen the share our excitement with everyone – young and old.
To do this, we deliver hands-on activities at festivals, run workshops for school pupils, connect to adults young and old, host apprentices in our labs, and create materials to enrich learning across the school curriculum.
We also take time to speak to the public, press, policy makers, politicians and governments: for our science to have impact on the world everyone should have a say.
