When? August 8th – 19th – 6 sessions over 2 weeks (including 12 hours of independent work)

Where? Loughborough University STEMLabs and virtually on Zoom

What is it? Pathways will be running a Summer Science Club, where you’ll develop your own practical experiment and complete it in one of our university science spaces. This is a challenging programme, where students will be given a strict brief where they have to design their own experiment around it. Upon completion, you’ll receive a Science CREST award. You’ll also develop your transferable skills, visit state of the art university science labs, meet scientists, and learn about university science courses!

You must be willing to dedicate time to complete the accompanying CREST workbook, deliver a presentation, and design your own experiment in order to receive the Silver award.

Who is it for? Year 11, 12, and 13 Leicester and Leicestershire students
