Students to attend Chemistry Camp at UU
Fifty students from schools all over the UK and Ireland have been selected to participate in a residential Chemistry Camp for 15-year olds at the University of Ulster.
The Camp, which runs from 10-13 August at the University’s Coleraine campus, will enable the students to participate in the fun of chemistry and motivate them to develop both awareness of and a long-term interest in the subject through an action-packed four-day programme.
Dr Aileen Moore, University host for the Camp, said: “This is Coleraine's biggest camp to date. Fifty children have travelled from all over the UK to the University of Ulster to experience this unique opportunity to participate in the fun of chemistry.
"Chemistry-related subjects are becoming popular again as demands for specific skills for the Biotech industry increase. This Camp will help them develop a long term interest in the subject and its applications in modern life.”
New features to this year’s Camp include a guest lecture by a visiting academic from Keele University on modelling of chemical structures and a computer-simulated chemistry practical.

You hold your breath, hoping to avoid the dreaded spiderweb of a shattered screen. But more often than not these days, our phones survive falls that would have obliterated them a decade ago.
