Scientists in Sport
More than 100 children from a range of schools across South London attended the launch of Scientists in Sport at King's College London
Scientists in Sport showcases how science will be used during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games - from anti-doping drug tests to understanding how eye tracker scanning could improve how football teams perform in penalty shootouts.
Schools have plenty of time to become involved. The programme comprises a series of free events running between now and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012. These events offer local school children the opportunity to experience a day at a university by taking part in sports-based lectures and interactive workshops. These aim to encourage 11-14 year old students to take their science studies further and consider a career in science. These events will be held at universities across the UK and will be delivered by faculty staff, student ambassadors and GSK scientists.
