Science activities at Sevenoaks u3a continue to flourish, offering members an engaging mix of talks, visits, and hands‑on exploration. The Science Group meets regularly to delve into topics ranging from climate change and medical imaging to the physics of flight and the chemistry of everyday life. Sessions are led by a mix of retired professionals, academics, and enthusiastic amateurs, all committed to making science accessible and enjoyable.
Visits are a highlight of the programme. Recent outings have taken members behind the scenes at research laboratories, industrial sites, and museums. Popular destinations have included the Kew Steam & Music Museums, Kirkaldy Testing works and CERN in Geneva, giving participants the chance to see science in action and meet experts working in cutting‑edge fields.
Collaboration with other u3a groups in our Annual Science Seminar — topics such as forensic science, future energy technology and Artificial Intelligence — broadens the scope even further.
What truly sets the group apart is its sense of community. Members bring a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, creating a welcoming environment where questions, curiosity, and shared learning thrive. For anyone interested in understanding more about the world around us, the science activities at Sevenoaks u3a offer an inspiring and enjoyable way to stay informed and connected.
