Companion text:
In this ground-breaking final-year undergraduate course, students undertake an outreach or public engagement placement in the community. Working alone, or in small teams, students must negotiate with their host organisation to deliver a resource than can be used to help communicate science to the public, local schoolchildren, or service-users, thus ensuring that the outreach activities have a life beyond the course itself. Throughout each project, students create a blog to serve as a record of their learning and the development of their resource.
