The Royal Institution, based in Central London, delivers Saturday morning Masterclasses for Year 5 students. These extracurricular workshops are in mathematics and computer science. They nurture students’ curiosity and inspire them  to continue STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) engagement into the future. Through these Masterclasses, students connect with scientists and STEM enthusiasts, gaining insight into the depth and breadth of these fields. Students are helped to realise that STEM subjects are for everyone, inspiring future science careers.

Marner nominates a small group of year 5 students who have an emerging interest in STEM subjects to attend. Pupils who have attended this year are:

Saara Ahmed (Justice), who said , ‘I loved the magic science tricks through puzzles, I found it a little bit challenging but really enjoyed it’.

Ayman Hasan (Justice) added, ‘We created coding and developed a new version for a programme called Flock XR, we also created our own AI’.

Issa Joadat and Kayden Ravat (Empower) said, ‘We loved the challenging maths games, they were smart and at a high level’.
