Some members of the astronomy group think that they understand astronomy well enough to explain it to others. Time permitting, they would be glad to come and talk to local schools and astronomy societies on various astronomical topics.
The School of Physics & Astronomy maintains an extended list of people who are willing to come and talk to local schools/societies. Some of those people think they understand physics enough to explain it to others — challenge them with your audience.
You could be interested in a number of other outreach programs run by the staff of our school (e.g. Light Express, Lightwave, etc.).
The mobile planetarium is a FREE travelling inflatable astrodome which visits schools and colleges across the South of England. The planetarium shows consists of both guided tours of the constellations and current astronomy events which can be seen in the nightsky above England.
The astrodome school visits are run by Astronomer Sadie Jones and a team of Postgraduate and Undergraduate Astronomy students based at University of Southampton. Shows can be tailored to the requirements of your school's syllabus on request.
