Visit to The Reading Big Bang Fair
On July 5th, 2010 we attended the Big Bang Fair at Reading University. A team of 3 sixth formers took the award for excellence in Physics for their project in conjunction with UKAEA into coefficients of friction under high vacuum.
The day involved the competitive element as well as a strong bussiness/industrial content featuring companies such as JVC, BT Openreach and Thames Water. In addition, as can be seen from the uploaded images, the day also consisted of many science and engineering interactive events such as making QTC sensors, investigating fibre optics and lasers. A very enjoyable day that was of emense value to all who attended.
