What’s the best way to inspire the next generation of scientists?
That was the question facing our Game Changer Teresa Anderson MBE. She’s a physicist and the director of the Discovery Centre at Jodrell Bank. For the past 18 years, she has been driving the Observatory’s redevelopment, hoping to attract a new, diverse generation of people to gaze at the stars, and discover the wonders of space.
The stunning new exhibition spaces are the result, built with a little help from The National Lottery.
Game Changers host, Aimee Fuller - two-time Olympian, author and broadcaster – visits the Observatory – a UNESCO World Heritage Site - to meet Teresa, and see the vision for herself.
And we take a trip to historic Whitby Abbey, perched on the cliffs of the windswept Yorkshire coast. Here, a breathtaking new artwork has been created by David Popa, celebrating the Game Changers - exceptional individuals who have had an extraordinary impact on heritage and conservation over the last three decades.
