A small group of us from Morecambe Community High School's Sixth Form travelled to the University to experience what students two years older than us would experience on a regular basis.....Lectures!
We were given the opportunity to receive two lectures from a wide range of different subjects. One of my lectures were delivered by Dr. Phillip Benachour, from the School of Computing and Communications. I really enjoyed the opportunity to see what a University Computer Lab is like, and how it all operates, as well as the chance to try out electronics!
The other subject I picked was Physics. The Physics lecture consisted of a range of interesting topics of Physics, including Quantum Computing and Plasma. It was another opportunity to see Professor Jim Wild, and to see his love for Space Physics in person!
We also got to see a demonstration of Liquid Nitrogen in action. It was great to see what happens to a plant that is cooled to extremely cold temperatures and smashed against a table!
A great day was had by all, and it was such a great opportunity to experience what is to come in the future.
