Resonate Roadshow for URSS
"Such an experience. Enthusiastic students. More please"
On Saturday 25th November, 33 Warwick undergraduates participated in the Resonate Roadshow to share their URSS research projects with members of the public. The event took place in a vacant shop unit in Royal Priors shopping centre in Leamington Spa and 165 people visited over the course of the day.
The students attended masterclasses and support sessions arranged by WIE to help them prepare hands-on activities and posters to engage with people about their research. Congratulations to everyone involved!
