We are also running a workshop on University applications and an informal session with undergraduate representatives, to give the students a bit of a flavour of what life at Newcastle university may be like and what it has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>We got a mention in the React magazine where you can read more about this event: <a href=\"http:\/\/reactmagazine.co.uk\/anybody-out-there\/public-engagement-school-kids-and-science\/\">http:\/\/reactmagazine.co.uk\/anybody-out-there\/public-engagement-school-kids-and-science\/<\/a> and we will be organising more events of this kind in the future.We would like to thank all the people who volunteered to help with this event.<\/p>\n<div class=\"really_simple_share really_simple_share_button robots-nocontent snap_nopreview\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 5th December 2012 we are hosting an open day for A-level students from the schools around the North East.
