Happy #InternationalLEGODay!

It was a great experience to visit @BoulbyLab and test lego robot designs in preparation for the @RemoteRobots project.

Enjoying being a part of the team planning the challenges which groups of school children will be completing with their robots!

The students program their #LEGO 'Mars Rover' using @Scratch and @MSMakeCode, supported by experienced computer scientists from SCD 🧑‍🚀

The project aims to inspire young people to follow a career in STEM subjects and get excited about #coding! #LearntoCode

Find us in the Coding Zone at @STFC_Matters @DaresburyLab #DLOpen23 to program LEGO Mindstorms Robots on our Martian map! @RemoteRobots

I work with amazing people in a good work culture. No one wants to leave but pay & conditions means people do. Its also one of the significant reasons we struggle with recruitment. Things need to change #ProspectStrike

[Laura Murgatroyd @physicsgradlife]

Had a great time testing the rovers a couple of weeks ago, and excited to see how they all do tomorrow!

[Remote3 @RemoteRobots]

Just two more days until our exploration day in the @BoulbyLab @STFC_Matters Mars Yard! We have some truly incredible Mars Rovers ready to go! Looking forward to seeing all the innovative ideas in action!

Happy #InternationalLEGODay!🥳

#OTD in 1969 the original #LEGO brick was patented and 53 years later, we use Lego Mindstorms to engage with the next generation of computer scientists and teach the public about science and technology🧑‍💻

We met lots of people working in unusual places through #101Jobs - but Emma Meehan, who works over 1 kilometre underground in @BoulbyLab as their Senior Science Support Technician, might just take the title. Watch her full video: https://t.co/lOTJSFXAZZ

[Boulby Underground Laboratory @BoulbyLab]

The public engagement team @STFC_matters and Robot Xin from @RemoteRobots have been here at Boulby Lab helping students understand the basics of programming 🤖

Robot Xin managed to get the ‘data’ sorted with help from the young participants 👍 #MINARIX

[Boulby Underground Laboratory @BoulbyLab]

Did you miss our live underground event yesterday? You can still watch it here 👉 https://t.co/xiWmAlEARc

Find out about:
🚀 Testing technology for space
🧬 How life could survive on Mars
👩‍🚀 Training astronauts

#MINARIX

[Boulby Underground Laboratory @BoulbyLab]

Teams from @UKAstrobiology @UniEdinburgh and @aberdeenuni are heading over 1km underground to work on exciting #astrobiology projects including testing interplanetary rovers in our Mars Yard and live lab tours with @remoterobots ✨ #MINARIX

[Boulby Underground Laboratory @BoulbyLab]

MINAR 9 has started! 🥳

Over this week and next week we'll be hosting the 9th Mine Analogue Research Program with @UKAstrobiology, bringing together scientists and engineers to investigate the limits of life on Earth and to prepare for eventual human exploration of space.

[Boulby Underground Laboratory @BoulbyLab]

What happens at our underground lab? 🤔

Lauren explains what we're up to from our clean room over 1km under the North York Moors 📹 #MINARIX #DarkMatter @UKAstrobiology @STFC_Matters

[Laura Murgatroyd @physicsgradlife]

Super excited to be visiting @BoulbyLab today and tomorrow! 🤖⛏️👷

[Boulby Underground Laboratory @BoulbyLab]

🌟Join us for a key stage 3 and general public event LIVE from underground. Find out how we test technology for space 🚀look at how life could survive in the the extreme environments on Mars 🦠🧪 train astronauts and much more! Thursday 2nd December 14:00 https://t.co/RGj2tAxnEy

[Laura Murgatroyd @physicsgradlife]

@willfurnell @kicad_pcb I love that it has the underground logo on it!

[Laura Murgatroyd @physicsgradlife]

This little model engine only needed a candle 🕯️ and 20ml of water 💧and it ran for over half an hour!
