Your guide to key STEM events in the region and throughout the UK.
One day bioscience conference for 6th formers.
A half day INSET highlighting how the context of space can be used to teach parts of the A-level and GCSE science curriculum. The event will also be an opportunity to find out about the other exciting developments in the Space Academy project http://www.spacecentre.co.uk/academy/
These are two of a number of 3 day residential chemistry camps for Year 10 students. Students spend three days and two nights at the Host University, staying in the University Halls of Residence, and using the laboratories. They carry out new, exciting experiments, and have the chance to delve into areas of chemistry that are perhaps not covered at school. Further background information is presented through entertaining lectures and (often noisy!) demonstrations. In the evenings, practical work in the labs is put on the back burner, and students enjoy a variety of social activities like a fun quiz or tenpin bowling.
