Scientist in your classroom

This Biology Week, we can bring ZSL's scientists and keepers to you!

Join us online from your classroom, and give your secondary school students the opportunity to meet a ZSL expert, free of charge. 

These free interactive, online chats, are run during Biology Week (October) and British Science Week (March) each year. We give your students the opportunity to meet ZSL scientists, exploring careers in biological and conservation research.  Our experts share their experiences and insights, and give your students the chance to ask their own questions.

Our next sessions are scheduled for British Science Week in March 2023. A link will become visible on this page once bookings are available.

For further information, please email us at [email protected]. To be first in line to hear more about our upcoming events and activities, you can also sign up for our Education mailing list via the button below.
