Last week, SERPENT had the opportunity to visit with schools in the Manchester region in a special pre- Manchester Science Festival schools program event called Speedy Science.
From Tuesday 20 to Wednesday 21 October, SERPENT wowed schoolkids with its blend of science and hands-on fun. Groups of year 8 children from 6 local schools had the opportunity to pilot a Deep Sea Robot using our exciting Marine Simulation ROVsim™ simulator over the two-day event, held at the Pure nightclub at the Printworks in the heart of Manchester city centre.
Rob Curry, SERPENT outeach co-ordinator and Hanna Shuster, SERPENT PhD student had a great time meeting and talking with the enthusiastic children and taking them through their paces on the simulator.
Best quote of the event? "I wanna be a Marine Scientist when I finish school!"
