The science fair was held at
Wollaton Hall, which is also well known as the setting for Wayne manor in the Dark Knight Rises, set in the beautiful grounds of Wollaton Park. This event was free for the public and ran solely by volunteers. It attracted tho
Maria prepared creams to introduce children to pharmacy practice and to introduce the field of regenerative medicine; Mike prepared polymer gels and Anne helped the children to look at their own cells under a microscope.
