Established in 2021, The Average Scientist is a specialist science outreach organisation with a focused mission – to democratise science, ensuring accessibility to all, irrespective of age or proficiency level. Our ethos centres around embracing the diversity of scientific curiosity, recognising that you need not possess a PhD to revel in the wonders of the scientific world.
At the core of The Average Scientist is a fusion of scientific expertise and creative ingenuity. Our team comprises both Scientists and Creatives collaborating seamlessly to craft impactful, emotive, and educational outreach experiences. We champion the integration of artistic elements into science, embodying the philosophy of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), transcending the conventional boundaries of STEM.
Delve into the intriguing world of science through our meticulously curated blog. Authored by a global array of writers with extensive experience across diverse scientific disciplines, our articles are thoughtfully graded from 1 to 5 for accessibility. For those seeking a deeper dive, we offer ‘Challenging’ and ‘Expert’ levels, inviting readers to explore traditional research topics and the underlying science.
Education is the cornerstone of our endeavours. Operating in both Primary and Secondary schools across the UK, we deliver tailored curriculum-based workshops and STEM/STEAM inspiration visits. Our commitment extends to providing students with real-world experience through involvement in our outreach work, bridging the gap between classroom learning and modern STEAM practices.
A highlight of our outreach are TAS Talks – live engagements that have captivated audiences nationwide. Held in diverse venues such as Town Halls, Cathedrals, Abbeys, and hotel conference rooms, our talks cater to a broad spectrum of age groups, all united by a shared passion for science. Our distinctive accessible style ensures comprehension without diluting the scientific rigour.
Building on the success of TAS Talks, we seamlessly transition into theatrical productions. Our family-oriented shows are a harmonious blend of science and art, featuring stunning 3D animations presented on expansive 4K LED video walls. Meticulously crafted second by second, each show offers an emotive and memorable journey through scientific subjects, accompanied by live presenters and traditional theatrical effects.
Enter the TAS Academy, our online learning platform catering to knowledge enthusiasts and those seeking formal qualifications. With a user-friendly learning management system, we offer a spectrum of courses and modules, from experiential courses to comprehensive qualifications like GCSE Astronomy. Specialised modules also assist with GCSE maths and provide 11 plus coaching.
Our online store boasts a comprehensive array of high-quality science and lab products, ensuring the safe execution of practical education. From detailed anatomical models to specific science kits, our product range caters to schools and home experimenters alike, fostering a hands-on approach to science education.
Beyond education, we extend our expertise to private enterprises. Proficient in research and independent surveys, we ensure validity and impartiality in results. Our collaborative efforts span outreach projects, product launches, public engagement, and independent evaluations of sustainable products, allowing businesses to leverage the power of science seamlessly.
At The Average Scientist, we transcend the conventional, making science an inclusive and engaging journey for all. Explore with us as we redefine the boundaries of science education, outreach, and corporate collaboration.
