Adam Nichols, a PhD student from the University of York’s Department of Physics, demonstrates how rocket fuel works using hydrogen during a space adventure workshop at the University of York.
Employee-volunteering charity York Cares hosted York Children’s University, or CU in the City, aimed at engaging children in fun, quality and innovative experiences outside the classroom.
The events were designed to support family learning, promote curiosity and encourage children to try new things.
University outreach officer Katherine Leech said: “We’re really excited to be involved with the Children’s University. It’s fantastic to be able to inspire students about physics from an early age and give them a bit of an insight into what a university is like.”
