The Young People's Programme occasionally collaborates on events outwith its core activities. At other times we come across events that are fun, interesting and relevant to schools, but not part of, or affiliated with, the RSE’s programme.

Check back here from time to time, for an exciting bank of events to explore.

3 November 2011: National Non-Fiction Day

On 3 November, over 280 primary school students attended National Non-Fiction Day at the RSE. The Scottish Book Trust organised the event at which Martin Brown delighted the audience with interactive tales of his experiences illustrating the Horrible Histories series.

Terry Deary's wonderful and vivid re-telling of history (with all the gory bits left in) is accentuated by Martin's incredibly funny line drawings and cartoons, which revolutionised non-fiction and history books for children. The books have sold over 20 million copies worldwide, won countless awards including a BAFTA, and a new Sunday night show with Stephen Fry has just been broadcast on BBC 1

Visit the Scottish Book Trust to see pictures from the event and find out more.

12 September 2011 - BBC Webcast of Maggots and Microbes

The RSE education team was so intrigued by one of the BBC's upcoming webcasts that they couldn't help sharing this with you.

If you missed the special 'live' BBC Learning webcast with Dr George McGavin from the After Life rot box, then visit the BBC website to catch up. Watch the life cycle of a fly unfold, through amazing new technology, and see microbes at work as you have never seen them before
