Science Discovery Day, St Andrews 9th March 2019
Science Discovery Day on the 9th of March in the School of Physics and Astronomy was a great chance to show off our work to the public and inspire local childrens’ love of Physics. We made solar cells, raced solar-powered cars, and took the chance to talk to people about the exciting research happening every day in the building. Guests of all ages took part in making their own dye sensitive solar cells, using a raspberry juice dye to absorb light and produce electricity. 6 year-old Eva loved learning about solar power ‘Using raspberry juice to make electricity was really awesome and I loved racing the solar powered cars off the edge of the table with my little sister!’.
