Charles Dickens School Visit
Visit to Charles Dickens Schools
For a number of years SIM has provided a financial donation to a number of schools close to the Hall to help them bring science alive to the children and students. Past Master Ron Summers recently paid a visit to the Charles Dickens School to see how they had used their donation.
The school has used some of the donation to help fund a greenhouse as part of their Forest School project. This has allowed pupils to exlore growing their own fruit and vegetables and learn about science and nature in a very practical way.
The school also purchased a number of books to help the children start to explore science and these books now form part of a well stocked library. The school really appreciates the continued support from SIM in helping the children explore science from an early age.

"My Arkwright grant funded a residential Maths camp and, at an engineering taster day at Cambridge, I learned about the mechanics behind the 'chain fountain' phenomenon. An Arkwright visit to a company called TTP opened my eyes to the possibility of working as a researcher in industry. Through WCSIM I also attended a fascinating lecture on the science of invisibility by Professor John Pendry, which covered the topic of meta-materials with negative refractive index, encouraging me to explore this area further."
