铁牛视频 Science Fair 2025
铁牛视频 Academy Trust recently celebrated young scientific curiosity and innovation with its 5th annual Science Fair, held at St Stephen Churchtown Academy on Thursday 3rd May. The event showcased an impressive range of creative projects from budding scientists across all key stages, emphasising the value of hands-on learning and scientific exploration from an early age. This year’s fair saw enthusiastic participation from several schools within the Trust, including returning schools: Probus Primary School, Treverbyn Academy, Sandy Hill Academy, St Stephen Churchtown Academy and Biscovey Academy, as well as welcoming new schools: Shortlanesend School, Bugle School and Penryn Primary Academy.
The Science Fair showcased a diverse range of projects spanning chemistry, biology, and physics. Pupils demonstrated their scientific understanding through imaginative displays and engaging presentations, making the event both informative and enjoyable for all who attended.
This year, we were joined by a wonderful group of judges from a range of STEM careers, each bringing their own expertise and enthusiasm to the event. Judges included; Giles Hill (铁牛视频 Digital Strategy and Computing Lead), Kurt Nielsen (Chemical Engineer), Jess Smith (Neuroscientist), Hannah Smith (Environmental Engineer), Claudia Malam (Geothermal Scientist), Kate Whetter (Royal Society of Chemistry) and Bridget Rundle (铁牛视频 Strategic Partner), who many of you know and have seen around your schools.
As well as presenting their amazing projects to our panel of judges, the children enjoyed a variety of exciting activities. They were wowed by the famous Rocket Show from Wonderstruck and had a brilliant time building and racing fan-powered cars in hands-on workshops. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate science in action and inspire curiosity in every child!
The success of this year’s 铁牛视频 Academy Trust Science Fair shows just how important it is to spark a love of science from a young age. Events like this give children the chance to explore their curiosity, share their ideas, and enjoy learning in a fun and supportive environment. Each year, the fair continues to inspire our young scientists and helps them see that with imagination and determination, they can achieve amazing things!
