Are you a Year 10 student and interested in STEM? Then apply to take part in King’s College London’s work experience week, running from 8 to 12 July 2024. You’ll spend a week in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences (NMES), exploring different STEM topics and meeting a wide range of scientists and engineers.
The STEM work experience week runs from Monday 8 – Friday 12 July 2024, based on the Strand Campus. You will start the week with a general introduction, before spending time with each of the five departments in our faculty: Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics and Physics. You will get the chance to visit laboratories, talk to scientists and engineers, and get stuck into interactive STEM workshops.
You will then be set a ‘design challenge’, working in a team and using different aspects of what you have discovered in the week to come up with a creative solution to a real-world problem. You will end the week presenting your work as a poster to the rest of the group, as well as staff from King’s College London, your teachers, parents/carers and more. This week will give you a broad view of the range of STEM careers available, and the diversity of people who work in a university like King’s. It will also highlight the skills needed to study a STEM degree at university, and what this experience could be like.
Applications will close on Friday 26 April 2024, 23.59. The organizers will notify successful applicants by Friday 24 May 2024.
