On 16 June 2023, students from Notley High School were able to ask questions to renowned scientist Chris Smith on a radio broadcast. The year 7 and 8 students involved thought deeply on the questions they would like to ask and came up with some wonderful questions such as, “why do our eyes not pop out when we sneeze?”. While there were some technical difficulties which lead to them being asked questions as well while Chris Smith was dialled in, they handled this with poise and calmly answered questions surrounding issues they face as young people today. We are so proud of them and it shows the resilience of our students when they face unforeseen issues. Chris Smith was very complimentary about the questions asked and his answers were fascinating to hear. It was great also to see behind the scenes of a radio show.
