Chris Wareing's Outreach Activities

In the past I have been the North-West Regional Coordinator for the Science for Schools programme organised by the Royal Institution of Great Britain and funded by the Royal Society. In that role, I ran science-based events at schools and other venues around the North-West region of the UK for school children aged 9 to 18 and a few events for the general public. In the scope of the programme, we reached over 30,000 children between September 2005 and July 2007.

I have also been the coordinator of the Mobile Planetarium into Primary Schools project at Jodrell Bank under Dr Tim O'Brien. In the course of doing this, I have personally enthused and excited several thousand children about astronomy and been able to show them the stars inside a portable inflatable stardome.

I have given astronomy-based talks for the National Association of Gifted Children in Cheshire and been part of various of their events at Jodrell Bank. I am also a Science and Engineering Ambassador based at SETPOINT Greater Manchester.

If you have a planetarium and require a speaker or require a demonstration-based interactive talk on mathematics or astronomy in general, please get in touch.
