About the tour
The STEM Secondary Tour was designed to strengthen students ability to integrate and apply their knowledge and skills across the four subject areas. Students will solve authentic problems, encouraging collaboration and critical thinking, and develop practical solutions in unique learning environments. Guided by educators and scientists, students will have the opportunity to build and operate their own Go-Kart in a workshop designed by industry-leading aeronautical engineers. Students will develop their curiosity through a series of activities, such as playing the role of an investigator using real forensic techniques, applying mathematical problem-solving at the famous codebreaking site: Bletchley Park, in addition to coding flight patterns using Swift coding language. Finally, students will learn about Alan Turing's work on artificial intelligence at the National Computer Museum and work as a team to explore how scientific modelling and physical forces are applied when firing a projectile. Additional inquiry-based workshops covering biodiversity and ecology are also available at Kew Gardens.
