CDT and UCL PhD Students Volunteer in The 15th Annual Science Conference Science4u

CDT students ran another science outreach event and, for the second time, it took place at the Annual School Science Conference at Westminster University. The conference was attended by 450 students aged 12-16 and from a variety of schools and socioeconomic backgrounds across London.  Again, the students learned all about biomedical uses of hydrogels and the careers that could involve using them. Live 3-D printing demonstrations explained the different types of 3-D printing out there and how they work in different fields from medicine to the construction industry. Fun and obscure objects were also 3-D printed and presented including a ukulele which was played by some students!
