Why Undergraduate PE activities
• Public demand & awareness“hear and see too little or far too little about science” 51%
“like scientists to spend more time than they do discussing the social and ethical implications of their research” 65%
• Impact agenda
• Key employability skill
• PE within STEM curricula
• Student demand
• Role model

Science & Society Final Year Research Projects
"An incredibly invaluable experience which enabled me to develop
the skills that I am currently using in my teacher training"
“Thank you for organising the science visits again. As always, a
great success and the children really enjoyed them; exciting
practical activities, high quality resources, impeccable planning and
incredible levels of enthusiasm”.

Public Engagement interns“The science behind sporting success”
“Not really into science but way you have run the activities
here makes it really interesting”

Student volunteers
Surprised how much people’s understanding of the brain varied and
how much the amount of information that people could take in
varied. What I have learned is how to tailor the information to each
individual.
Helps to reinforce your own knowledge when you have to explain
something ……interesting to communicate to a non-scientific
audience………definitely got easier as the day went on as it gets easier
to gauge how interested people are.

Student-led PE volunteer scheme
“Really good to work with children and attempt to make
neuroscience cool - I think we succeeded! I gained so much from
the day. I came away feeling enthused, passionate and appreciated
how much I enjoyed my degree”
“Love to have your students to work in the ‘All About Me’ gallery.
We are very excited about this partnership and believe it will be a
great boost for the gallery and your students”
