This years annual Excitement of Science lecture will again be held virtually. In addition to our two regular attening schools we have extended invitations this year to the 3 Secondary Schools in Ashton-in-Makerfield as well as those in N-le-W and Golborne. So far the list of acceptances include:

Hope Academy, Golborne High School, Byrchall High School and St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School. A response from Cansfield High School (A-in-M) remains outstanding.
The target audience is students in the 14 to 16 Age Group ie those pupils in the 2-year run-up to GCSE Exams. All the Excitement of Science lectures are aimed at encouraging students to study Science subjects in the Sixth Form as a step towards University/College Qualifications and careers in science and/or engineering.
