5. SchoolLab-
Bringing science communication to schools
SchoolLab is an innovative, pilot
version of the FameLab science
communication competition in schools
where participants enhance their
knowledge of science and develop their
skills in communication, in
presentation and in English.
SchoolLab allows our network of
FameLab alumni and our local science
centre partners to connect with and
inspire a younger generation through
their mentoring of the programme.

6. SchoolLab- completing the link
SchoolLab completes the link
between Science in Schools
and FameLab, giving
schoolchildren an active role in
science communication and
inspiring them to follow in the
footsteps of the current
generation of young
researchers.

7. SchoolLab- what it means for students
SchoolLab helps students
•Understand the exciting
challenges of science
•Develop critical and creative
thinking through innovative and
creative activities
•Gain the confidence and skills
required to present their ideas
•See young scientists as role
models
