We are pleased and proud to support and provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Ambassadors for the 2022 Mid Sussex Challenge. Our role will involve us acting as mentors, working with the school to share our knowledge and showing the students what it’s like to work in industry.
The students have been set a project to research, develop, and build a remote-control vehicle that can navigate a large and complicated obstacle course. Teams are provided with a list of specifications they must meet, such as artificial intelligence, camera attachment and a motorised chassis, to ensure their vehicle is up to the test.
STEM education provides an excellent grounding for students who wish to pursue a career in engineering, scientific research, chemistry or medicine. There is currently a STEM skills shortage in the UK workforce, so engaging activities like the STEM Challenge have an important role to play in inspiring the next generation to develop these important skills.
Students from every local senior school and college gathered in the Mid Sussex District Council Chamber on Friday 30 September for the launch of the Mid Sussex STEM challenge 2022 and we were delighted to meet with this years’ students and look forward to working with them and then seeing their remote-controlled vehicles in action!
