NSEW Lecture series
To celebrate National Science & Engineering Week 2010, we brought a selection of Science & Engineering speakers into Hertfordshire Secondary Schools to give free talks within normal lesson times. Details of talks that were available in 2010 are below FYI.
In 2010, 25 Hertfordshire secondary schools, >2300 students and >100 teachers benefited from these lectures.
Teachers – if you’d like to get a speaker for NSEW 2011, make sure you are signed up to our email lists – contact us to ask to be added.
A huge thanks to our NSEW 2010 sponsors who made all this possible
