The College undertakes a vast programme of events with secondary schools and colleges, working to raise the educational and career aspirations of young people through inspirational science. Activities can be delivered on and off campus and aimed at a specific year group or subject class.
Workshops and events
Our regular and past workshops can be explored via the subject links below. These provide examples of the opportunities we offer, but we are always interested in discussing bespoke events with interested schools.
- Engineering
- Computer Science
- Mathematics
- Physics and Astronomy
- Geology, Mining Engineering and Renewable Energy at Camborne School of Mines
The College is also proud to play an active role in national events, such as National Science and Engineering Week and F1 in Schools. We also host the Big Bang South West, an interactive fair which brings together over 1500 young people from across the region in a celebration of science and technology.
Online teaching resources
Many of our academics have developed teaching materials to support and enhance the delivery of the national curriculum. Our current provision is listed below.
The College is planning to extend the range of online learning resources available to teachers. All new materials will be available via this website.
Student ambassadors
School and community events are supported by our enthusiastic science and engineering student ambassadors. These current students provide a first-hand insight into studying undergraduate science and university life, dispelling any myths and encouraging school pupils to aspire towards an exciting career in science.
Further information
If you are interested in any of our activities but are unsure if the current themes are suitable for your students, we are always happy to discuss with you how we could produce an activity that better suits your needs. Please email us to indicate which activities you are interested in and any specifications you may have and we can discuss whether it is possible to adjust one of the current themes or if we can find an activity that would be suitable. The College will try and fund as much as possible; however, we may need to ask for a small contribution to our transport costs. We try to be as flexible as possible and, therefore we prefer each school interested in holding an activity to suggest a few dates that are most appropriate for them. Please email us and we will see what we can do to fulfil your needs.
