Schools, colleges and the public

Our academics and students develop and deliver inspirational, hands-on science and engineering activities at events and schools in the local area.

We aim to create space for our nuclear scientists and engineers to talk about their research with the public and to listen to their views. From school children to parents to grandparents, this work is relevant to everyone. Professor Sarah Heath / Associate Director, Dalton Nuclear Institute

We’re passionate about enthusing people of all ages with science and engineering while giving researchers the chance to engage with members of the public. We attend a number of events including:

ScienceX at the Trafford Centre

Bluedot Festival at Jodrell Bank

Science Spectacular, part of Manchester Science Festival

Science and Industry Museum events
