Science Communication
We deliver science and nature talks, walks and workshops to school children, organisations and course providers. For example, we have run events as part of Science Week, Heritage Week, and Biodiversity Week. These events can be tailored to an adult or child audience.
Teacher feedback
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude for such an excellently run workshop with my 4th class, we thoroughly enjoyed it. I know it was hard to really see the true enthusiasm of the class but they have been spending their lunchtimes and evenings at home really getting involved and searching for fossils and I even had a parent comment on how much her children loved this. How the workshop was run, your patience, time and information and knowledge provided to each of the children was just fantastic and I can’t thank you enough.”
