Virtually Explore

Aimed at anyone with an interest in science and engineering, Virtually Explore is a collection of online experiences developed by staff and students to offer glimpses into our research spaces, what our staff and students do, and the history of our buildings. We also offer access to a number of interactive or stay-at-home activities for all ages.
