For example, we had a workshop in which Jodrell Bank staff helped the students use some of the skills we have been developing to analyse some real data from one of their telescopes. There were also interactive exhibitions which helped bring to life some of the concepts which we have studied and a planetarium show.* *### Jodrell Bank - Dec 2022 [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(3).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(3).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(5).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(5).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(6).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(6).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(7).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(7).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(8).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(8).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(9).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(9).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(10).png) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(10).png) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/PXL_20221207_102715308~2.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/jodrell-bank-dec-2022/PXL_20221207_102715308~2.jpg)* -
