Leading physicist and television presenter Professor Brian Cox CBE OBE FRS travelled to Ballymena yesterday for an innovative schools initiative aimed at inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers and inventors.
Professor Cox hosted the ‘Science Summer School’ at The Braid in Ballymena on Tuesday January 23, alongside leading educators and influencers from the world of science, technology, engineering, the arts and maths.
It is hoped the initiative, spearheaded by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council and key companies within the Manufacturing Task Force, will help activate the curiosity of up to 400 young people, via a combination of STEAM seminars, discussions, hands-on experiments and insights.
