At this time of year we are looking forward to signs of spring. Especially for nature lovers. Great advice here from Caroline in one of our Chats for an aspiring botanist.

We don't share the age of students with the volunteers on the I'm a... programme. This is because questions can vary depending on age and ability. You might hear us say 'if students want more information, they will ask for it'. This is a really great example of that.

It's great to see conversations being 2 way. The engagement goes beyond a Q&A and turns into a proper conversation. By asking a question back to the student, Rosie was able to extend the interaction.

It reminded us of this moment from a Chat recently. The student was involved in a conversation about being involved in quantum computing.
