Alongside our scientific research, public engagement plays a central role in the SANDPIT Lab. To maximise the potential impact of our work we engage in a two-way dialogue with stakeholders and potential beneficiaries of our research at all stages from planning new projects through to dissemination of results. See below for details of previous public engagement projects.

Toddlers and Touchscreens
The Toddlers and Touchscreens Public Engagement project aimed to establish a dialogue with parents and early-years practitioners about the latest scientific evidence and guidelines, and learn about their thoughts, feelings and behaviours around touchscreen use. We ran a series of focus groups, and family activities, including science festivals and a science show.
