Student Workshops & Incursions
STEM Workshops
Bringing STEM to the classroom. At Immersive Education we have found that primary and secondary school students generally indicate an interest in STEM related fields and subjects, but often fail to make the link to standalone subjects and career pathways. Our STEM workshops provide students with the opportunity to engage with a variety of topics within the STEM field and explore the specific career pathways associated with these. Let Immersive Education tailor a STEM workshop for your students needs, or view our pre-packaged STEM workshops below.
STEM: Aviation Workshops
This is an entry-level course that is designed for students who have a general interest in learning about aviation. Aviation encompasses a multitude of diverse disciplines, and this incursion will provide students with skills and knowledge that extend beyond the immediate and more obvious aspets that are required to pilot an aircraft. Students will be exposed to real-life applications of concepts covered within their standard Science and Mathematics classes. Student's will create aerofoils and use these to test and apply the principles of aerodynamics in order to better understand how objects can attain lift. This course is intended to give students appropriate grounding and insight into the skills necessary to undertake a career in aviation whilst enhancing their understanding and awareness of STEM in practice.
STEM: Rocketry Workshops
Applying STEM to Rocket Science. Our STEM: Rocketry workshops provide students with the opportunity to engage with a variety of topics within the STEM field associated with astrophysics. Students explore forces acting on a rocket, identify phases of launch, learn how to determine centre of mass and centre of pressure alongside determining stability of rockets pre-launch. This course is intended to give students appropriate grounding and insight into the skills necessary to undertake a career in rocketry whilst enhancing their understanding and awareness of STEM in practice.
