UCL Digital Outreach
About
UCL School of Pharmacy Digital Outreach is a unique online digital space designed to make Outreach and Widening Participation for future scientists simpler and easier in an increasingly digital world.
As a digital twin of a real-life facilities, Digital Outreach enables school pupils from anywhere in the world to visit UCL School of Pharmacy and interact with Staff and students using digitised facilities and headsets, the same way they would in real life despite being hundreds or thousands of miles apart. Simply putting on a set of virtual reality goggles allows them to meet UCL Scientists and their digital avatars and find out more about studying at UCL, to see experiments in real time and to receive training on high end equipment despite not having the physical version in front of them.
Mission
UCL Digital Outreach is designed to enable Universities to come to Schools no matter where they are in the world and explore digital twin facilities all from the comfort of their school.
Vision
Imagine a world where primary pupils can explore laboratories safely, in large groups without having to travel or take the risk. This will change the way we think about training our future scientists.
