L'Oreal Young Scientist Centre Presenters, The Royal Institution

About the Royal Institution

The Ri has been connecting people with science for over 200 years and has a clear vision that ‘Science is for Everyone’. Through our packed event programme, our UK schools outreach and social impact initiatives, and our global digital reach including almost 1.5m YouTube subscribers we achieve our mission by connecting people with scientists to explore science together.

In our historic Grade I listed building in Mayfair, discoveries were made that literally changed the world. Today it is a busy, multi-purpose building which acts as base for the Ri team (approx. 60) and tenants (approx. 100) and our science communication activities as well as a vibrant event space for private and corporate events.

About the LYSC

The L'Oréal Young Scientist Centre (LYSC) is an imaginative laboratory space for young people and their teachers to experiment and explore science and technology outside the classroom.

In the LYSC workshops, students become a scientist for the day, testing their own ideas by designing creative experiments. The whole experience ignites a passion for scientific discovery and encourages curiosity-driven learning. The students can make  bath bombs, extract their own DNA, investigate forensic science, explore the chemistry of colour and much more.
