Almost 400 year 10 and 11 students came to our Medical Physics event. Each day included 14 hands-on Workshops run thanks to clinical scientists/other professionals from the QE and Selly Oak NHS hospitals, paramedics, equipment suppliers, Aston university and others. Prof Stuart Green gave an amazing key note talk highlighting how important Physics is in the delivery of 21st Century diagnostic techniques.
The students had a go at using defibulators, endoscopes, pulse oximeters, ultrasound, respiratory equipment, optical kit, radiation protection suits and X-rays to see through a Kinder surprise chocolate egg! A show of hands at the beginning and end of the day evidenced how many more were consider A-level Physics as a result of this action-packed day.

'New' Physics Factory Ambassadors Induction Meeting - Monday 3rd October 2011

We are pleased to welcome a number of enthusiastic year 12 students personally benefitted from coming to the Physics Factory from their Birmingham Schools and, as a direct result, achieving grades they did not think they were capable of in Physics.  The ambassadors will encourage visiting pupils of all levels and demonstrate that physics isn't as hard as it is sometimes perceived to be. They also have an important role telling visiting business leaders how the Physics Factory made a difference to them.
