Outreach

The Lindemann Trust supports educational events for schools and other similar organisations, making science exciting and accessible to those who ordinarily have no such opportunities. Our main focus at present is with Primary Schools – the Trust hosts up to three events a year for state primary schools, with Lindemann Alumni and Associates presenting exciting ’bite-size’ talks and compelling demonstrations on aspects of science which are relevant to the school curriculum and to which the pupils can relate.

If you are a school or teacher who would be interested to hear more about our outreach work, please get in touch.

“Thank you for inviting us! The children thoroughly enjoyed the visit and were full of it once we returned to school. The opportunity to come to a place like Magdalene College and hear from Professors was a real treat so we would certainly jump at the chance again.” – Year 6 Class Teacher, Winhills Primary School, St Neots

“The children loved being in a real life lecture theatre and hearing from such knowledgeable people who clearly love their jobs. The children left inspired and enthused.” – Year 6 Class Teacher, Trumpington Meadows Primary School, Cambridgeshire

“It was an absolute pleasure to present at this event! The children were all so interested in the talk, I was so impressed. They asked questions about things that I had never considered before!” – Speaker at one of our events

Here is a taster of the sort of presentations our outreach sessions might feature. In this video, Lindemann alumnus, Felix Flicker, tells us about the magic of condensed matter physics! Felix is currently a Lecturer in Physics at Cardiff University.

 

And here is an excerpt from the talk by Lindemann Associate, Frances Rigby, who spoke about alien worlds when she joined us in Cambridge in March 2025.
