Outreach Team take part in Windermere Science Festival

WindermereGraphene

This year's Windermere Science Festival took place at the Windermere Jetty Museum – an award winning museum that enjoys a stunning lakeside position. The programme included talks, demonstrations, events, family friendly activities, boat trips and workshops. There was even a dalek spotted at the event! The CDT Team representing the National Graphene Institute ran a stall demonstrating how graphene is made, and allowing visitors to examine its structure through a microscope.

“We had a great time representing NGI at the Windermere Science Festival, “said 1st Year CDT student Will Talbott. "Our stall was busy teaching visitors of all ages how to make graphene and answering questions about 2D material research. The festival included interesting talks, workshops, and science activities, making it a lively event. The weather was good, so we also enjoyed kayaking on Lake Windermere and exploring the Lake District. The highlight was seeing the Northern Lights, which made our visit even more special.”
