How can we develop materials for a sustainable tomorrow? How will smart materials revolutionise the modern world? What impact does the field of materials science have on our daily lives?
On Tuesday 9 July, Discover Materials, IOM3 and St Paul’s School invite science teachers from across London to a day of discovery to find out answers to these questions and more. Through a series of talks and workshops, we will explore the broad field of materials science and ways in which it can be explored within the classroom. There is also time set aside for lunch, coffee and conversation to chat with the course leaders and other teachers. Please see the timetable below for more information.
