| Results and Impact | Over 550 primary school children have participated in a half-day of space activities, followed by questions and discussions about ICG research and being a scientist. Overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers including 'our students not only learned a lot about the galaxies and universe but also improved confidence to want to become scientists and find out more about science'. Two schools sent thank you letters with follow-up questions. |

| Results and Impact | 5500 people attended a BBC Learning Stargazing Live event for which the ICG was the main academic partner. The event was held in Portsmouth due to the success of the previous year's event at the Historic Dockyard. Members of the public participated in a number of activities linked to ICG research, sparking questions and discussion. - there was an increase in traffic to the ICG website two days after the event |
