Students and staff from Sheffield Hallam University will host an interactive family afternoon showcasing research in biology, chemistry, forensic science, engineering and health. Find out about the brain and conditions like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, how venom from animals can be used to develop therapeutic agents, detection of ‘fake’ money with forensic science as well as all of our exciting engineering and robotics work. There will also be mini talks and demonstrations.
Speakers
Organised by the BMRC, this event features a range of interactive stands aimed at children and grown-ups alike. We welcome the general public to experience the work we do across the sciences and engineering departments.
You will be able to touch real hearts and spines, get involved with chemical experiments, learn about computer programming, see lego robots and lots more. Mini lectures will be held throughout the day in the Pennine Lecture theatre.
