SOLAR

It's #WomensHistoryMonth and we're celebrating all the women at SOLAR who study science and encourage young people to explore science too, and all of our student volunteers who champion inclusivity in our workshops! Who inspires you this month? royalsociety.org/topics-policy/…

We've got that #FridayFeeling after this week's Heart and Exercise activity where we had Year 6's running, star jumping and hopping, to understand the effects of exercise on heart rate and taking their own ECG's! #STEMoutreach #Friyay #SOLAR #outreach #Newcastle #schooloutreach

At SOLAR we never miss a beat! (guess which workshop we're doing this week!?) Today we're off for a visit to Whickham! #STEM #outreach #SOLAR #bioscience #scienceoutreach #volunteering #studentvolunteering

Happy Student Volunteer Week! It's 'snot' fair to forget to thank our amazing students this week who made snot, practised hand washing and designed bacteria with Year 4's in Whickham yesterday. #studentvolunteerweek #STEM #STEMoutreach

What a great end to the term: taking an ox heart dissection to North East Futures. Looking forward to more outreach in the new year, Merry Christmas! #STEMoutreach #bioscience

This weeks workshop at Beech Hill Primary was all about the heart. We ‘aorta’ say thanks to our amazing volunteers! #scienceoutreach
