Programme Highlights

Leadership, Simon Quinnell CSciTeach

Based on our successful ASE Leadership Programme, this session will go through some key aspects to start you on developing your leadership skills as a science technician.

The session will look at leadership skills, working with others, difficult personalities and influencing others!

Horticulture, Tracy Sherwood-Farnfield RSciTech

Plants are a must in any thriving science department but they can be difficult to cultivate in the confines of the prep room.  Come and grab some useful tips on cultivation, propagation and general care to keep your plants lush and ready for lessons.  Bring any surplus cuttings for a plant swap too.

Microscale favourites, Rebecca Daniels RSciTech

A hands-on session  that will showcase some KS3 and KS4 microscale practical favourites including food tests, electrolysis and testing for ions. Delegates will learn about the vast multitude of benefits that are felt by staff and students when taking this approach to practical work.
