Our programs use a discovery and inquiry-based learning approach with a focus on \u2018learning by doing\u2019. Our outreach model provides students with a chance to work in small groups on a variety of projects. This model helps foster problem solving, critical thinking, and an overall passion for STEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our programs take place within the Faculty of Science at the Keele Campus of ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ, as well as within schools, community centres, and other educational institutions. Within the university environment, this gives students the unique opportunity to learn and discover the world of science and engineering. In each of our programs we enrich the learning experience with demonstrations from various student groups, faculty presentations, laboratory visits, and hands-on workshops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
