| Results and Impact | Initiative proposed and run by PhD students and PDRAs to bring an Inflatable Planetarium to schools and public events, and to invite schools to the University of Nottingham and other public venues, Public Engagement. It reaches more than 2000 disadvantaged children per year (focus on Widening Participation schools) and many members of the public. |

| Description | School visit |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | This single entry represents several tens of duplicated events across local schools in the Nottingham region. At each event, the PG students take the astronomy group's inflatable planetarium to a school and give up to four talks per visit. Inspiring the younger generation of potential scientists |
| Year(s) Of Engagement Activity | 2011,2012,2013,2014 |
| Description | Telescope open evenings |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | Regional |
| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | Telescope open evenings are attended mostly by local groups such as scouts, cubs, brownies and guides. The evenings quite often contribute to awards they are working towards. These evenings always provide huge stimulation to the participants with very positive feedback. |
