Nice outcome from visit to Body and Soul

The science of flight! Michael Shapiro

April 8, 2009 – 9:00 am

My Footprints work has been involved with Millom school. Here I have been running experiments for 9 and 10 year old children. These have explored the science behind aeroplanes and flight, chemical reactions and volcanoes. We also ran a series of workshops for National Science & Engineering week along a similar theme.

Making K’nex-xions: Lizzie Jordan

The other side of the rainbow: Hannah Hay

March 31, 2009 – 9:00 am

For each secondment we commit 10% of our time to corporate social responsibility work. At the moment I’ve been working in schools as a Science & Engineering Ambassador… but if anyone had told me a few months ago that I would be teaching science classes to seven to nine year olds… well, I would have [...]
