Tinlin Talks is the umbrella name for the space-themed STEM talks designed to inspire school children with the science and adventure of space, delivered by Liz Tinlin.

The aim is to provoke interest in STEM subjects from biology to computing, photography to geology, maths to chemistry, as well as space science.

Liz Tinlin is a STEM Ambassador, volunteering in London and the South East and can be contacted on liz@tinlintalks.org. The currently available talks are detailed below.

An inspiring and interactive 1-1.5hr session that looks at the big geology of Earth you can see from space, then goes hunting the solar system to find more.

With volcanoes, meteorite impacts, seas, giant ice sheets, mountains and valleys to explore, it’s a whole fresh perspective on our Planet Earth. Starting at Mercury and ending up at Saturn’s crazy methane world Titan, we explore where else we can find the big geology we see on Earth.

Along the way we hear the tales of the robots who’ve gone to explore on our behalf, from selfies on Mars to future robotic squid in Europa’s ocean. Amazing photography and video, and interactive elements make for an inspiring session – made all the better by all the brilliant questions that will pop up from the kids along the way.

This session is ideal for primary age children Years 3-6

An inspiring and interactive 1-1.5hr session that reveals the story of how humans went to another world, our moon.

This talk tells exciting tales from Apollo 8 to Apollo 17, centred around the first moon landing of Apollo 11, timed to celebrate the 50 year anniversary in July 2019.

There are so many little gems to discover, including how we learned to fly in space, the perils of a moon landing, the Apollo 13 near-disaster, driving moon buggies, and what we brought back (and left behind) on the moon. Using amazing photography and videos it puts the story in the context of the moon itself, what it’s made of, and where it came from… And what role it may play in our future exploration of space.

With plenty of chances to ask questions and find out some amazing facts, it’s a great session for children in Years 4-6 or 7-8.
