Call for Volunteers Smash a wine glass with sound, create spiral rainbows, use light to heal wounds and explore medical optoelectronics – volunteers needed! Do these things sound intriguing? Are you interested in communicating science to a young audience? Lab in a Lorry needs volunteers with a scientific background for events across Somerset during school term time. What is Lab in a Lorry? Lab in a Lorry is an interactive mobile laboratory, which gives young people (11–14 year olds) the opportunity to explore science through open-ended experiments. Volunteers guide the students through the experiments (optoelectronics and medicine, sound and resonance, light scattering and colours, oil and viscous liquids) and make sure everyone gets to be involved through hands-on experience. Our tour of Somerset has been made possible thanks to EDF Energy. EDF Energy is committed to producing safe, affordable and reliable low-carbon electricity. The company is sponsoring Lab in a Lorry as part of its plans for Hinkley Point C to engage and inspire young people in Somerset to follow a pathway into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related careers. What would I have to do? You will oversee an experiment for the day. We send you all the background material in advance and on the morning of an event you receive full training on the lab. We ask that volunteers commit to a minimum of one full school day, but you are welcome to come along for as many days as you like. In return you’ll have a rewarding and unforgettable experience, receive some IOP freebies and also be awarded affiliate membership to the Institute of Physics for a year (www.iop.org). More information? To find out more about what’s involved in volunteering for Lab in a Lorry and where we will be touring visit our website at www.labinalorry.org.uk where you can also register as a volunteer, or contact me on the details below. Volunteers are the key to the success of Lab in a Lorry and I hope that you will become part of the team. Thank you and I hope to see you soon, James.
