Stimulating physics - improving access creating demandInstitute of Physics

Enterprise simulation activity

We have been working with the Careers Research Advisory Centre (CRAC) to produce an activity for enterprise and physics. This has now been piloted in three schools and is ready, in electronic format, for further use in schools. We hope that, in this phase, we can get feedback from anyone who tries the activity.

Version 1.3 of the whole activity is available in zip format from this link.

Careers workshop

CRAC, working closely with the UK Resource Centre for Women in SET, have developed a one day workshop for physics teachers and careers advisers. There will be one in each region as follows:

Nott's     -    17th January 2008     -    Rolls Royce

Oxon      -    22nd January             -    RAL

Leeds    -    13th March 2008         -    Harewood House

Event format

The event will be a one-day professional development course held in a school (or other venue) for teachers drawn from a cluster of local schools.

Typically, schools with specialist status would be suitable as they have a remit to support other local schools.
