“Women in Chemistry 2”, is a FREE exciting interactive theatre production from the STEM Response Team, that focuses on the achievements of three women who have changed the world of science and highlights how their discoveries continue to influence science and technology, in particular, sustainability and green energy today. The STEM Response Team will use experiments, humour and spectacular science demonstrations to introduce topics as varied as DNA, genetic modification, nuclear fission, nuclear power and the discovery of chemical elements to the audience in an accessible and inclusive way.

This show is suitable for students in Key Stage 3 and 4 or home-educated students between the ages of 11 and 16.

Please note, that this show contains flashing lights and loud sounds throughout the performance so may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to these.

Funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
