Science and Technology - OPEN

Status:Active, open to new members
Convenor:
When: Monthly on Tuesday afternoons
4th Tuesday at 2pm
Venue: Petersfield Community Centre

Science and Technology Open Meetings take the form of an hour-long presentation on a very wide variety of scientific or technological topics, followed by 30 minutes of comments, questions and discussion.
We choose presenters who are knowledgeable on the subject; often, they are researchers or academics actively working in their field.

We also run a number of Hands-on Science at Churchers College sessions where we do simple science experiments; it's great fun!

See the What's On page for details of the forthcoming meetings and Hands-on Events you can sign up to.

Organisation of these open meetings is through a small committee.  If you can help develop the sessions or suggest potential presenters, we would be extremely pleased to hear from you. Please complete this short form, and a member of the S&T team will be in touch. https://forms.gle/QEn4DFhyMSPcuh8JA.
