Are you curious about how the world works? Do you enjoy discovering new ideas, discussing innovations, or revisiting the science and technology that has shaped our lives? If so, the STARS group could be for you.

Our meetings cover a wide range of engaging topics, including:

  • Everyday science and how it affects our lives
  • Developments in technology, past, present, and future
  • Engineering, space, energy, medicine, computing, and environmental issues
  • Talks, presentations, discussions, videos, and member-led sessions

In addition, an informative monthly newsletter is distributed.

Here are just a few examples of subjects covered in the past:-

  • What a load of rubbish! The thermodynamics of recycling.
  • The story of explosives.
  • Colossus at Bletchley Park.
  • Power generation, fuels and heat engines.
  • From city tower blocks to medical devices - the story of silicones.
