Forty-eight Year 10 students travelled to Brighton Dome to take part in this year’s Science Live event. This inspiring experience gave students the opportunity to see and hear from five of Britain’s leading scientists, including Professor Robert Winston, Professor Andrea Sella, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Professor Gilly Forrester and Dr Anna Ploszajski. Each speaker delivered engaging and thought-provoking talks, powerfully demonstrating how science offers real solutions to many of the world’s most pressing challenges.

The day was both exciting and intellectually stimulating, with students actively engaging in discussions and raising questions directly with the scientists. On departure, each student received a comprehensive booklet containing detailed information about the speakers, further insights into their lectures, and valuable exam-success advice from an experienced chief examiner.

The visit proved to be highly inspirational, encouraging students to explore the world of science in greater depth. Many are now beginning to consider future educational pathways and careers within science-based fields, highlighting the lasting impact of this enriching experience.
