Curiosity Cube
Volunteering Opportunity
Date: 17 - 19 September
Venue: Charnwood Campus Science and Technology Park
We had a fabulous time hosting the Merck Curiosity Cube last year, engaging with over 400 year 7 and 8 students to look at sustainability. This year, the Cube will be based at Charnwood Campus Science and Technology Park for 3 days, where we will invite schools to join us to learn more about Artificial Intelligence.
We are looking for volunteers to help man the Cube on one or more days, and it would be great to hear from you if you are interested. This is a fabulous opportunity for PGR students and Early Career Researchers to get involved in public engagement and help to inspire the next generation of researchers!
If you would like to volunteer on any of these dates please email iph@le.ac.uk
