Sep 2014 - Present
I am part of the presenting team at science made simple. I travel across the UK and abroad presenting science and engineering shows and delivering science talks to school, public, and festival audiences. When in the office I write science resources for our website in the form of blogs and activities which provide interest and entertainment for students, teachers, and the general public. I coordinate the social media output of science made simple, ensuring a regular output of blogs, Facebook and Twitter posts. I also keep track of the website statistics through Google Analytics and organise the maintenance of our office. I have been involved in the development and performance of two new shows that were taken to South Korea for a science festival in Daegu. I have conducted a solo tour week of engineering shows in the Republic of Ireland for Engineers' Week, travelling to lots of different locations and reaching 3000 children.
