science club to use. Contact Sarah Robinson at Life Science Centre ( 0191 243
8243). Plenty of ideas for your clubs. Other areas will soon have access to similar
boxes!
Science club case studies
sciZmic is looking for science clubs to feature on its website. Your club doesn't
have to be the best there is. It just has to work. We want to feature all kinds
of club, to give new club leaders an idea of the huge variety of ways you can
run a club. Featured clubs will receive a free sciZmic goody to thank them. Ros
will be writing the case studies over the summer - watch this space.
sciZmic at the BA Festival of Science - Sept
Are you looking for something to do in September? Why not take your club along
to the BA Festival pf Science at the University of Salford (8-12th). The sciZmic
team will be there on Wednesday and Friday morning running 'sciZmic science, a
debate with a difference' which will look at SARs. There are plenty of other things
on that week, but places may be limited, so hurry up and book! www.the-ba.net
