An opportunity for level 3 students to explore the breadth of STEM subjects available within Higher Education. Students will attend subject tasters to help make an informed decision about STEM courses and will hear from current undergraduate STEM students to understand what it takes to study STEM at University.
Students will spend the day in a series of self-chosen interactive workshops and taster sessions to establish which area of STEM they feel best suited to. They will also take part in practical workshops to develop the skills necessary for a smooth transition to student STEM subjects at Higher Education level.
The event will run from 09:30 - 15:00.
