100 students from across the East Midlands spent a week at the Boots support office in Nottingham getting inspired about work. 50 were from schools, colleges and universities here in Nottinghamshire.

Boots, the Nottingham-based health and beauty retailer put the students through their paces in an effort to bridge the gap between young people's expectations of work and what business expects from them.

 

The Institute of Physics (IOP) is hosting a three-day inspirational residential course for physics teachers based at the University of Sheffield's Physics & Astronomy department.

 

The course which runs from 9th - 11th July will feature: various talks on topics such as the LHC, neutrinos, black holes and nanotechnology; a visit to Kelham Island Museum; and, hands-on workshops on Physics & Toys, IOP's Ashfield Music Festival activity and seismology-based practicals.
