Please note that teachers are expected to remain with their students throughout the day wherever possible (Especially during Computing and Games sessions.)

Information about what you will do in our taster sessions:

Biological Sciences - TBC

Biomedical Science - TBC

Computing - In this session you will be heading off to our digitech centre at BT Martlesham to explore all the areas of computing.

Game Development - This session is slipt into two waves; firstly you willwill tweak and refine a third-person shooter game within the Unity game engine. You will receive hands-on game development experience by thrusting into Unity and producing engaging gameplay. Secondly, we will all participate in a Street Fighter II tournament and discover the core competencies of a Game Designer. We will analyse the game's core game loop and expose the behavioural and psychological mechanisms that underpin its design. This session assumes no coding experience!

Nutrition and Human Health - TBC

Sports and Exercise Science - Nature vs. Nurture – What Drives Elite Athlete Performance?In this session you will look at Elite athletes perform incredible feats of physical performance in endurance and strength sports. But how do they do it? Are they born with a physiological make-up that enables them to excel in their sport (nature), or is it all about the training environment they prepare in (nurture)? Or a bit of both? Come to this session to find out more, and to learn about degree courses and career opportunities in the sport and exercise sciences.
