This past weekend, True Ambassadors had the opportunity to take part in the New Scientist Live event. It was hold at the Excel Centre on the 12th and 13th of October 2024. As a UK independent charity organisation, we were pleased to offer free tickets to our community, giving people the chance to experience this exciting event.
New Scientist Live is one of the UK’s most popular science festivals, featuring hundreds of exhibits, talks, and demonstrations. The event covers everything from space exploration to the latest medical research. Thanks to our ticket distribution, many attendees—some of whom might not have been able to go otherwise—had the chance to engage with cutting-edge developments in science and technology.
The feedback from participants was incredibly positive. Many shared how much they enjoyed the event and how it changed their view of the world. They appreciated the interactive displays and live demonstrations, which made complex ideas easy to understand. For many, this event offered a new perspective on how science impacts our daily lives and sparked their curiosity.
We are incredibly grateful to Olivia Abbott and the New Scientist Live team. Including us in such an important event was a great privilege. Their support allowed us to share this unique experience with a wider audience. It was wonderful to see so many people leave feeling inspired and eager to learn more. The event aligned perfectly with our mission at True Ambassadors, which focuses on encouraging curiosity, lifelong learning, and community involvement.
By being part of New Scientist Live, we helped bring science closer to our community while reaffirmed our dedication to making educational experiences accessible to everyone. Opportunities like this are vital in inspiring a love of learning, particularly in fields like science and technology that are shaping the future.
As a UK independent charity organisation, we look forward to building more partnerships that offer our community access to valuable learning opportunities. We hope to participate in many more events like this in the future.
