Thorpe Park launches STEM workshops for schools
To celebrate the arrival Derren Brown’s Ghost Train as part of the 2016 Fright Nights, Thorpe Park’s educational team has launched three interactive STEM workshops for students.
The curriculum linked workshops provide a opportunity for students to utilise unique technological learning tools in a range of STEM and Business subjects, alongside the rides and mazes Thorpe Park is known for.
Schools can choose from a computing workshop at KS3 or KS4, which enables students to see how digital images can be manipulated for effect, as well as design and technology workshops for KS3 or KS4 which explore the scaling up of ideas.
Additionally, a psychology workshop is available for KS5 students, which explores compliance theory and its effect on society.
