As part of British Science week, Dr Diane Turner (Dr Di) joined the Comberton Village College STEM club after school on the 10th March 2025.
The club leader commented 'Diane came and spoke to a selection of staff and students during Science Week. There was lots of interest with staff and students alike keen to get their hands on the meteorites.
A teacher said: “I found the presentation engaging and informative. While I’d hoped for an opportunity to get a closer look at some meteorite samples, I never imagined I’d get to hold a fragment of Mars in my hand, having only been admiring its distant light in the night sky the previous evening: amazing!”
A year 7 student said: “I found it incredibly intellectual, knowledgeable, and helped me learn more about space. I had never dreamed of holding some of those amazing specimens! Like one of them was super dense and really hard to pick up for its size, and another was a piece of the moon…or, should I say, a piece of the Earth that has been away for a while. It inspired me to set up my telescope!”
A year 11 student told me it had been his favourite science club session of the year.
We look forward to welcoming Diane back next year.'
