Dec 2008 - Feb 2009 – ‘Science meets theatre’ in partnership with Hands on Science project - A 'performance' to take place on February 2009 at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff where 20 scientists will share their experiences and science stories with young people from secondary schools across Wales. The students will have the rare opportunity to ask the experts any questions that they like! The scientists have worked with BLC in workshops held at Cardiff University to develop their stories and also learn skills that will help them deliver their stories with confidence and enthuse the young people about science.
