Maths Scholars Resources Workshop 2024

We are welcoming our wonderful Scholars to join us at the National STEM Learning Centre (York) for more CPD workshops!

Saturday the 17th of February 2024

Session 1: STEM Ambassador session

About the Session

There are over 30,000 STEM Ambassadors who offer their time, passion, and energy to visit schools, colleges, and youth group organisations to deliver requests from teachers and youth group leaders who want to link STEM subjects to the real world of work. We offer training and support to enable our Ambassadors to confidently deliver a range of activities to young people, including career talks. In this session you will discover more about the programme as well as getting a taster of the types of activities a STEM Ambassador can deliver.

About the Speaker

STEM Ambassadors come from a wide variety of industries, from Air Quality Consultants to Software developers to Polar Explorers. Hear from a STEM Ambassador: What is my Job? With Louise and Joel

Session 2: Hands on Maths - with Dr Katie Chicot (CEO, MathsWorldUK)

About the Session

Hands on maths allows a student to experience a different face of mathematics and a different way of approaching problems. These can frequently be experienced as a group. In this workshop we’ll look at a few hands-on maths puzzles which are small versions of exhibits we have at MathsCity in Trinity Leeds. We will also consider other activities suitable for the classroom which can be experienced as a group.
