Science Camp 2012


Teachers in the Norwich and surrounding area, please note this:
IFR (and the Norwich Bioscience Institutes) will be offering a ‘Science Camp’ (For Yr 10 students) that will take place for a week in July. in 2012.

This will enable us to host more students and provide a unique inspirational insight into life as a scientist at the NRP. There will be a mixture of group practical and academic activities in addition to placement in working laboratories for 2 days. Using our new state of the art training laboratory, students will conduct experiments led by the Genome Analysis Centre, debate GM issues and visit the high tech microscopy facilities at JIC. At a final summary session, students will present their laboratory experiences to the group as well as their hosts. Science teachers will also be invited to attend this session and join in the discussions.

Applications are now open, and can be made here:  http://opportunities.jic.ac.uk/year10/apply.asp
