Science and Engineering Ambassadors (SEAs)
Connecting school science with science in practice
As a Science and Engineering Ambassador you can use this site to introduce yourself to a school, college, science club or other audience. You can do this by creating an entry to the 'Where science is done' section.
Your entry
It is very easy to contribute. All we need is 50 - 200 words for a non-technical audience and an image (or two) plus the URL of a web site to link to where people can find out more.
You can contribute to the site online. Alternatively attach your text contribution and an image or two to an e-mail message.
