Future scientists aim for the skies at Thornton Science Park

Becky Spurry, Anna Taylor, Charlotte Tims

THE scientists and engineers of the future have been honing their skills during a number of workshops at the University of Chester's Thornton Science Park.  Year 8 and 9 pupils from schools across the North West and beyond, as well as RAF cadets, learnt how to build (and successfully fly) a computer controlled airship. They also took part in a simulated cyber intelligence and digital forensics operation to bring cyber criminals to justice.

Angela Lupton, HE STEM Co-ordinator at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, said:- "We always receive excellent feedback from our workshops and this series has been no exception. It is always a pleasure to see the inspiration and enjoyment that the pupils gain from these experiences. We would also like to thank the RAF for their help in making this possible. Throughout the year, we host a variety of free STEM events, designed to inspire young people and raise awareness of higher level study and future career opportunities in STEM industries. If you are interested in coming along, please keep a look out on our website"
