A group of fifteen year 8 pupils were given the opportunity to visit Warwick University Maths and Engineering Department. They were joined by KS3 pupils from other Spire Trust middle schools (Catshill, St. John’s and Witton). They were given a ‘Careers using Maths’ talk from the university staff and a tour of the department and wider campus, also having a chance to take part in different engineering activities, including origami maths, Dobble geometry and fluid dynamics through an aerofoil experiment. All the pupils were enthused by the trip and we hope it has helped ‘inspire their futures’.
