The last decade has seen an explosion in scientific breakthroughs as technology drives new discoveries. It is an exciting time to be a scientist! So why are the numbers of young people studying science declining?

To arrest this slide there are innumerable initiatives to encourage researchers to engage with young people directly. But, for all that it is exciting to be a scientist, are scientists exciting? Can social skills learnt by breeding zebrafish truly translate into the classroom?

This session will explore how you can make research as exciting for young people as it is for your colleagues. We will look at good and bad practice and think about how you, as researchers, can make science cool for kids.
