Model A

Model A improves students’ and teachers’ understanding of how science works in industry, science/engineering processes, skills and roles of scientists/engineers etc and so encourages more students to study science subjects and consider careers in this business sector. This programme runs throughout the academic year and repeats each year with the next cohorts of students.

Quote from an industrialist:

“ This gives students an insight into industry and the world of work. It helps students to make more informed subject and career choices and will hopefully encourage more students to apply for jobs in this sector. It has been as rewarding an experience for us as for the teachers and students.”

Quote from a teacher: “This enhances the school science curriculum with examples of science in the workplace and the work of scientists.”
