Through the loan of a portable Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), this successful outreach programme focuses on bringing research directly to schools.

In the first three years close to 14,000 students and teachers have benefitted from the experience of using this high-level technical equipment. An overview of the programme and the success so far is here, accompanied by some of the images produced by students from participating schools. More information about the programme impact, structure, pedagogy, and future can be found in the full
impact report available on the RMS website.
