Outreach
We want everyone to be able to experience the wonder of physics. Whether it’s a tasty demo on the physics of ice cream, trying your hand at quantum computing or a trip to our annual Festival of Physics, our outreach programme has something for everyone.
Future Brunels
We love a good festival! When we’re not taking to the skies at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta recreating Victor Hess’ famous cosmic-ray discovering balloon flight, we can be found at Blue Dot Festival at Jodrell Bank Observatory introducing festival-goers to all things quantum or mesmerizing them with our polarised light experiments. Keep an eye out for us at upcoming festivals.
Schools programme
Designed to inspire the physicists of tomorrow, our schools programme aims to support primary and secondary teachers in the delivery of their curriculums and includes talks, workshops, build your own kits, placements and summer schools.
