We meet at 10am on the second Thursday of the month usually via Zoom.

Each month a member presents a subject of his/her choice. A few of the topics we have investigated are 'the origin of computers' ;'3D printing'; 'nano technology'; 'the human brain'; 'autonomous vehicles'; 'the commercialisation of space'; 'power distribution'; 'the science of beer'; 'the history of telecommunications' and many more.

We discuss topical items of a scientific and technological nature in a way that's understandable by non experts.

Those that can find the time enrol in online courses or view u3a sci-tech presentations on Zoom.
