Part Of Official Scheme? | Yes |
Geographic Reach | Regional |
Primary Audience | Schools |
Results and Impact | Schools lecture tour covering 1000+ secondary school pupils (mostly state school, mostly GCSE but the full range) engaged with physics/astronomy through lecture with hands-on activities highlighting the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Legacy surveys. Students were engaged with science and life as a scientist. Comments included "excellent and interesting lecture, very well presented" "Interesting, inspiring, relevant" "Helpful for deciding what university course to choose" and simply "Stellar" |
