Every year the Royal Institution hosts a series of Christmas Lectures in the iconic Faraday Lecture Theatre in Albemarle Street in London. These lectures have been inspiring children and adults since 1825 when Michael Faraday first began to deliver them.
The 2019 Christmas Lecture was given by Dr Hannah Fry and was all about the Hidden Power of Mathematics. You can watch all three lectures on BBC iPlayer. You can also watch the Christmas Lectures from previous years here.
I think my favourite so far might be Kevin Fong’s “How to Survive in Space”! Teachers might be interested in the debate resources that support the discussion of controversial topics in the classroom. More information can be found here.
If the RI get stuck for someone to invite to speak next year, we know someone who would be very keen….!
