Our Maths Into Series contains three different events:

Maths into the Energy Mix | Maths into Wind | Maths into Hydrogen.

All of these events each give S3 pupils in the North East of Scotland the chance to test and develop their skills at applying maths and the practical knowledge learnt on the day, to power a fictional village in Aberdeenshire.

All events have been developed with consultation with teaching staff and industry, making sure the participants get an experience that builds upon their existing knowledge and gives them insight into what to expect in the workplace.

These events are also designed with Meta skills in mind; these are identified by Skills Development Scotland as being essential skills in creating adaptive learners and increased chances of success in the context of the future of a young person. These skills are inherently part of STEM activities, and throughout educational settings there is a renewed focus on supporting young people to identify these qualities within themselves.

The main skills focussed on with these events are teamwork, problem solving, creativity and communication. Additional skills associated with social intelligence, innovation and self-management are developed when young people work through project-based learning opportunities such as these.

The 2024-2025 academic year has been a huge success for our Maths Into Series, and we look forward to planning the next round of events for the 2025-2026 academic year soon.

Make sure to sign up to our mailing list to find out when these events are open to nominations for your school!
