Outreach
One of our key aims is to inspire the next generation of physicists to join us in our quest to understand the fundamental nature of our Universe. We encourage young people, teachers and the wider community to develop their interest in science through outreach programmes featuring our cutting-edge research and teaching.
A collaborative artwork by our Ogden Trust North East partnership schools.
During Ogden at 20, Science Outreach and Engagement invited pupils in our Ogden Trust North East partnership schools to contribute to this collaborative artwork.
They worked with digital artist Petra Szemán to explore their own questions about the Universe and produced art and animations. Pupils from Woodham Academy, in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, came into the Ogden Centre to present the artwork to an enthusiastic audience which included Sir Peter Ogden and family.

Celebrate Science
Our community science festival celebrates our latest research which takes place each year during the October half-term holiday and welcomes over 6,000 visitors across three days. Suitable for 7 to 11 year olds and their families, with a wide range of fun science-themed activities to enjoy!
Science Outreach
Our award-winning activities aim to stimulate interest in science and to encourage a better understanding of the application of science to our everyday lives. Our activities build on our excellent scientific research and teaching, involving the local community in the excitement of science.
Ogden Schools’ Partnerships in the North East
The Ogden Trust aims to increase the uptake of physics post-16 by supporting physics education and engagement for all young people (4-18), particularly those in under-represented groups. The Trust supports schools, teachers, projects and programmes that are committed to enhancing physics teaching and learning.
The Trust supports partnerships of schools to enhance physics teaching and learning.
The Ogden Trust North East schools' partnerships involve over 150 schools across the region, many in areas identified as facing multiple indices of deprivation. The partnerships work with many different organisations, running a huge variety of programmes and events.
