GSS 2024
The theme this year is
‘Energy – our collective spirit makes extraordinary things happen’.
Our eighth symposium continued to develop our science ambition, ensuring pupils had the chance to engage with science in innovative and thought provoking ways, starting with our Ask a Scientist event and continuing with seminar sessions on astrobiology, renewables and engineering to name a selection.
As always we were excited to welcome our guest scientists to the symposium, and very grateful that they were able to volunteer their valuable time in order to be grilled by our young Griffin scientist interviewers.
Energy and Time
The GST theme this year is Energy, with a further GSS focus on Time, to expand on the Trust theme and encompass the theme for British Science Week (BSW) this year. The concepts work well together on a number of science-related levels; for example, what has our human energy achieved over the millennia? The point is to encourage curiosity and creative thinking in our young Griffin Scientists; they are, after all, our hope for the future!
A time spiral – 4 billion years in the making and counting.
