Encountering Einsteinian physics in the classroom

Flyer via IMPRESS

How can we realise the full potential of Einsteinian physics in school? I gave a talk at the International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series (IMPRESS), discussing young girls' interest in and engagement with physics. 

You can find the recording of the talk on the IMPRESS website and read more about our study in the accompanying paper:
