Programme runs from 3-6 February 2026. The programme gives transition year secondary school students a flavour of a week in the life of a researcher in our world-class research facility as well as the opportunity to learn about topics like electronics, sensors, materials science, electrochemistry, photonics and physics through talks, demonstrations and lab tours and hands on activities where we can.
As part of the programme, students will be divided into groups and assigned a researcher to interview during the week. Each group is expected to research the topic area of their assigned researcher and work in teams of 2–3 members to create a presentation. The presentation should provide an overview of the researcher’s work and their area of expertise. Each team will deliver a 5-minute presentation at the end of the week.
