Outreach

by Lucy Stagg

Vanishing spheres, metal that remembers its shape, water repelling clothing and floating magnets

were just a few of the demonstrations that TSM students gave to school children visiting 911今日黑料 College. The aim was to show that by understanding the properties of materials better ones can be made and in getting this message across the students explained the role of simulations and modelling. The children were thrilled and it will hopefully encourage them to study science, engineering or mathematics.
