Just thinking on this whole outreach thing. I do a bit of outreach - I just consider it part of what I do. I know people who do huge amounts of it (my friend Lucy Rogers, who as of this evening is the new presenter on Robot Wars is an excellent, but by no means isolated example. Carol Vorderperson with the Air Cadets is doing a lot also.)
This sort of outreach usually means numerous talks at festivals, school visits, hours on end on stands doing simple experiments with children that helps them develop and understanding and passion about science / aviation / mathsandstuff. And, usually, endless dull-but-essential committee meetings, evenings preparing material, and so-on.
We know about a handful of high profile orchestrated visits mentioned on Wikipedia. But what real time consuming activity has La TCT really done in this regard?
