Scipod Online was launched at the Science at Work week hosted by the Catalyst Science & Discovery Centre, which brought together pupils from across the region and local businesses, aiming to show how science works in industry and in 'the real world'.
Sue Halliday, Educational Manager at Catalyst said:
"Catalyst is delighted to be part of this exciting new venture with Daresbury Laboratory and Halton Borough Council. The launch of the website at our Science at Work week caused plenty of interest from our visitors, many of whom entered the competition to name the robots. Local school teachers were impressed by the interactive nature of the site and have taken away publicity to share with colleagues. The teenage pupils were very keen to see if the "experts" would be able to help with homework!"
