Monday 9 November, 11.00-11.55 (this workshop is now full - thanks!)
S5 'Typical Student Week' workshop
Inveralmond CHS, Livingston, West Lothian

For the S5 workshop you will be working with a small group of S5 pupils (15-16 year olds). The pupils have to find out as much as they can about your typical week at university and plot activities on a weekly planner. They compare your typical week with their own school timetable and also get the chance to find how your 'typical student week' compares with other student volunteers studying different subjects at different universities. For this exercise it is best if you can tell the group about your first year at university but if you can't remember that in much detail then your current timetable will do nicely.

If you are interested in signing up for this workshop please drop me an email claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk and let me know if would like transport to the school. The meeting time for this workshop is 10am at the LEAPS office and we'll make sure you are dropped back there after the workshop about 12.30ish. If there is demand we can also pick up/drop off students en route at Heriot Watt University. Alternatively, if you would rather make your own way there we are happy to meet you at the school office at 10.50am - just let me know please.

James, Roy and Alison are leading this workshop and are also acting as taxi drivers.
