Breakfast with a Scientist

Last year was the inaugural year for Breakfast with a Scientist and was a great success: 

“The variety of the scientists who came was amazing. The idea of having breakfast with the people who have excelled in their respective careers is fantastic.” Year 10 student.

“I enjoyed that we got to learn about science, architecture, cells and cardiology.  And we got to have time at the end to ask the scientists questions.” Year 7 student

As a part of Science Week 2018, we are looking to invite parents who work in science related fields to speak to our budding scientists at Redlands. Our aim is to demonstrate the importance of Science and Engineering in the wider community and to inspire the next generation of scientists.

Breakfast with a Scientist will take place on the morning of Thursday 16 August. The event will commence at 7.45 am and finish at 10.10 am. A light breakfast will be provided.

The session will involve:

• A short presentation about your work (5 minutes per speaker): What is your current role? What are the most exciting aspects of your role? What you like best about your job? What you find most challenging?
• Question and answer session with students (30 minutes)

If you are interested in being involved please email Sarah Harrisson. Please also provide details of your field of study.
