The University of Cambridge’s Realise project recently ran three days of events, with colleges, departments and museums joining forces to give youngsters in care a taste of what university life is like.
Each of the days had a different theme. Trinity Hall and the Sainsbury Laboratory hosted a natural sciences day, with the students carrying out an experiment to explore how plants react to drought conditions.
Selwyn College organised a languages and culture day, including sample lectures on the traditions around the recitation of the Qur’an and on the links between language and national identity.
The third event, hosted by Queens’ College and the Scott Polar Research Institute was a science and environment day, which featured a session on the work of the British Antarctic Survey.
