Researchers in Schools
Researchers in Schools aims to bring the expertise of Higher Education to Exeter schools, inspiring a future generation to engage with academia.
In association with FUTURES 2024, University of Exeter researchers have been working with Exeter Science Centre to deliver the 'Our World From Space' project. This programme works with the region's schools and communities to deliver hands-on-workshops, helping people connect with science and technology a new, exciting way.
Held in July 2024, the first event in this series explored the applications of satellites. Featured academics included Dr Steven Palmer, from the Department of Geography, who demonstrated how satellite radar measurements can be used to investigate the flow of Arctic glaciers.
Throughout 2025, the team has expanded across Exeter, bringing these activities to a variety of local secondary schools.
