Lincoln Summer Scientist

Preparations for the Summer Scientists 2012 event are gathering speed. We now have selected the undergraduate volunteers who will help run the event. If you have been to Summer Scientist week before you’ll know that  our “orange helpers” (named after the official volunteers t-shirt) keep the whole event moving. From helping everyone get registered and settled in, playing games, painting faces, helping academics with the research studies and, most importantly, making sure that every single person at the event is having fun!

Last year’s orange helpers received fantastic feedback from our Summer Scientists and their parents. And we are sure that this year will be no different.

Welcome aboard all successful applicants!

If you were at the Summer Scientist Week 2011, then you should have received the newsletter in the mail now. It’ll tell you all about the things you helped us find out about how children develop.

If you are still waiting for it, you can sneak a peak at a copy here.

Our Summer Scientist event 2012 will take place from 20th – 24th August 2012 in the Business and Law building on Brayford Pool campus. With all new research games, an even bigger funzone and some more activities for parents to enjoy, too!

Book your place online booking opens in June. We hope to see you there!

We promised all parents and children attending Lincoln Summer Scientist 2011 that we’d send out a newsletter with our findings from the event. The wait is nearly over! The newsletter will be winging its way to the postboxes of our Summer Scientists pretty soon.
