CHaOS visits Portsmouth with Trinity College

This July, Trinity College teamed up with CHaOS, to deliver exciting and informative practical science sessions to 660 younger students from 10 Secondary schools and their feeder Primary Schools in their link area of Portsmouth.

CHaOS is all about breaking down the barriers that prevent children and families seeing that science is fun

Alex Davies, current CHaOS President

From the 9-11 July, CHaOS ran three days of science events for Portsmouth schools, kindly hosted by Admiral Lord Nelson School and Hayling College.

CHaOS – or ‘Cambridge Hands-On Science’ – is a voluntary organisation led by students from the University of Cambridge, which provides public science events and sessions for schools as part of their Summer Roadshow.

Alex Davies, the current CHaOS President says, “CHaOS is all about breaking down the barriers that prevent children and families seeing that science is fun, relevant and something they can understand."

The Cambridge student volunteers, including three from Trinity, brought a variety of science activities to Portsmouth pupils in years 6, 7 and 8. Hands-on experiments ranged from getting messy with cornflour to discovering the physics of light and sound.
