STEM Trips 12^th June

A small group of Y8 will be visiting Eureka Science & Discovery to view the exhibits and take part in a STEM activity to design and build a model bridge. They will be working with pupils from schools across the Wirral. 

Two Y10 classes will be visiting the UK Imaging and Oncology Congress (UKIO) at Liverpool Conference Centre. The visit includes a presentation exploring the evolution of imaging technology in medicine from X-ray and 2D imaging to current research developments in 3D imaging, including a showcase of some brand new never-before-seen technology. Following the presentation, students will have access to a specially designed and curated exhibition from the medical imaging field. They’ll have the opportunity to learn about the basics of radiology, imaging science and medicine.
