Spectroscopy in a Suitcase (Chemistry)

The RSC's Spectroscopy in a Suitcase scheme is an outreach activity which gives school students the chance to learn about spectroscopy through hands-on experience. As well as covering the principles of spectroscopic techniques, the activities use real-life contexts to demonstrate the applications of the techniques.

Delivered by university students, the events have a strong emphasis on encouraging school pupils to consider studying chemistry and the career opportunities available. 

Sets of equipment are hosted in universities throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. The scheme continues to expand its provision as part of the HE STEM Programme.
