Daresbury Science Centre
As part of the Science & Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) responsibility to promote science in society, several programmes are run out of the STFC Daresbury Laboratory, Runcorn.
On site, there is a science centre for school children to visit, with educational workshops offered, tours of the laboratory facilities, and a series of lectures.
Off site, a roadshow involving a portable planetarium (StarLab) can be taken into in schools to educate schoolchildren about Astronomy, Biology and Geology.
From October 2010 - February 2011, STFC are running Star Parties at Daresbury for schools with astronomy clubs. For information, please contact Alan Brown on 01925 603488 or email alan.brown@stfc.ac.uk
