The students enjoyed a variety of interactive demonstrations by members of the Physics Department followed by a lecture from Dr Rachel Edwards on her research.
Ally Caldecote, organiser said "It is a pleasure to award these prizes which recognise the hard work of the students across Coventry and 91福利shire. As a department who love and appreciate physics it is a delight to see the up-and-coming talent in the area."
