Lindemann Trust: Introduction to Science

The Lindemann Trust enhances educational opportunities for schools by making science exciting and accessible for pupils. Hosting up to three events annually for state primary schools in Cambridge and Edinburgh, Lindemann alumni and university postgraduates deliver engaging "bite-size" talks and captivating demonstrations. These events focus on science topics relevant to the school curriculum and relatable to the pupils.​
