Small but Mighty
Nanotechnology is the science of very small things. But what are the
implications for society of developing this technology? This event
was designed by local Post 16 students and involved a day of debate
and discussion about Nanotechnology. Students took part in a varied
programme of activities, accessing a range of expert opinions,
investigating public views on nanotechnology and researching the
topic through At-Bristol’s new Live Science zone. |

Debating Controversial Issues CPD
A 2–day course supported teachers from a variety of disciplines who were
seeking to enrich their teaching through discussion of contemporary
social and ethical issues in science. The course was built on experience
from over 40 Citizen Science special events delivered by At-Bristol in
partnership with teachers and topic specialists across the South West.
The course introduced participants to a range of classroom friendly
discussion and debate formats inspired by popular culture including
games, media, television chat show, role play, scenario challenges and
modelling structured decision making. Teachers were also given the
opportunity to use new facilities in At-Bristol such as the News and
Views area.
