Hello everyone,

I am new here and wondering if anyone could help me. I am currently a year 12 student doing Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Maths and Psychology at a Sixth form in London. I have plans to study Astronomy at University. I would like to get a work experience placement that will push me to Astronomy or simply motivate me. I would like to know if someone here is this field or could give me suggestions about what could I do.

Thanks in advance for your time.
