Dark Matter is one of the greatest mysteries in modern physics. The universe is filled with this mysterious mass, but we don't know what it is! To celebrate International Dark Matter Day on 31 October, we are holding a schools Taster Day to unpick the enigma.

Teachers are invited to bring a group of Year 10 students to King’s for a free taster day celebrating International Dark Matter Day. The visit will include talks, an interactive workshop, campus tours, and a careers Q&A about studying physics at uni and beyond.

The taster day will run 10:00 – 14:30, in-person at King’s College London’s Strand Campus, WC2R 2LS.

More details

Schools can bring a group of 12 students in Year 10. We encourage you to bring students who you think will benefit most from this event - this may not be your top physicists! We hope you can bring a group of students from diverse backgrounds.

Students will need to bring a packed lunch.

If you are interested in bringing a group, please email nmes-outreach@kcl.ac.uk before Friday 4 October. We may begin allocating places before the deadline, so please reach out to us as soon as possible if you are interested. If we are over-subscribed, we will prioritise non-selective state schools local to King's.
