SchoolLab- Bringing science communication to schools

SchoolLab is an innovative, pilot version of the FameLab science communication competition in schools where participants enhance their knowledge of science and develop their skills in communication, in presentation and in English.

SchoolLab allows our network of FameLab alumni and our local science centre partners to connect with and inspire a younger generation through their mentoring of the programme.

SchoolLab- completing the link

SchoolLab completes the link between Science in Schools and FameLab, giving schoolchildren an active role in science communication and inspiring them to follow in the footsteps of the current generation of young researchers.
