Café Scientifique

 

This was a new venture launched in 2010. Sixth Formers organised for external speakers to come into school and give a presentation about an interesting scientific topic. This topic was then explored further through an informal group discussion. So far presentations have included topics such as "The Arsonist, The Martian, The Cat and The Coke" "Reach for the stars and I will tell you how to fly on Mars. We would like volunteers to come forward to give informative discussions in the future.
