At the beginning of July, 25 chemistry teachers attended the RSC's The science of materials summer school in London. The three-day event included visits, lectures and practical sessions on polymers, nanomaterials, biomaterials and fuel cells. The feedback was extremely positive and 100% of teachers said that they would recommend it to others. One chemistry teacher said: 'overall I am delighted I came on this course, which was interesting and fulfilling and real value for money'.
