Our Activities
In the boxes below, you will see a list of our current set of outreach activities. As well as our usual outreach activities, we get involved in lots of activities throughout the year. Check out some other places you may have seen us.
School Visits
We visit local schools to deliver talks and workshops as well as answering student's and teacher's questions. These vary in length and subject but we will work with you to make the outcomes clear and be sure they need the needs of the audience.
