LapSafe® at BETT 2012: A review of day two at the BETT Show

As always, the LapSafe® team were up bright and early on day two of BETT 2012 ready to welcome educators from all over the world looking for the latest solutions for ICT in schools.

Today the LapSafe® BETT stand had a science theme as we welcomed David Price from social enterprise Science Made Simple on to H39. David was hosting the second of our free BETT events – science busking – and performed science tricks and demonstrations to eager spectators.

A science communicator, David has worked with the BBC and TV Show ‘Brainiac’ to organise science events for school, running the Northern branch of Science Made Simple. His organisations offers a selection of inspirational and educational experiences that are tailor-made for schools, festivals, adult audiences and the public.

David kindly gave up his time to treat visitors at the LapSafe® BETT stand to a range of science experiments using everyday materials to show educators how science relates to our daily lives. In addition to giving teachers some more ideas for teaching science in the classroom, the science busking session also showcased the ExplorerLAB® mobile science cart, a fully functional mobile science laboratory for the education sector.

To celebrate our science theme, today we also gave away the second of our free educational guides: a free collection of science experiments. We’re giving away guides every day to anyone that follows @lapsafe on Twitter and comes along to stand H39 to collect their freebie. There is a different free BETT guide each day throughout the show!

Continuing with our science theme, today saw yet another giveaway in our ‘Where in the World is Professor Smarty Pots?’ game. Tomorrow is the final day that you can get your hands on some interactive science packs, some be sure to drop into the LapSafe® BETT stand to try your luck.

Although the main BETT show is over for another day, it’s still all go for LapSafe® at BETT as we head over to Collabor8 4 Change (C84C), part of the BETT Fringe. We’re proud to be an official sponsor of the free-to-attend ‘unconference’, and will be hosting our very own table session about ICT security in schools. If you’re planning on attending Collabor8 4 Change BETT 2012, we’ll see you soon!

Remember to check back tomorrow for more on LapSafe® at BETT. In the meanwhile, have a good evening.
