From assessing aircraft flight characteristics, code breaking and heat exchange systems to creating a healthy smoothie in food science and nutrition, SRC Bede Sixth Form students were busy learning the skills needed to solve real-world problems at Teesside University’s STEMulate event last week. The day provided a taster into university subjects such as Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths (STEM) and a chance to check out the facilities.



Equipped with a base of knowledge in the STEM field, our students already study one or a combination of the following subjects at SRC Bede: Applied Science, Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Computer Science and ICT. STEMulate enabled our Year 12s to explore how these subjects can translate into a range of different university degrees.

One university course taking learning to new heights is Aerospace Engineering, where students are currently working on an out of this world project to put a rocket into space, launched from a high altitude balloon!

With countless careers available in STEM, students could be the next computer programmers, mechanical engineers, food science technicians, chemists, physicists, accountants, pharmacists… the list goes on!
