A
We work with Cambridge County Council’s Participation Team to create opportunities for young people to visit the University and learn more about it. The following events are scheduled for the 2019/2020 academic year.
SuperStar workshops
12 workshops are planned for young people aged 7 to 11. These half-day visits will be held throughout the year, at times when young people are not at school. If participants complete 8 of the 12 workshops, they will be awarded the nationally recognized SuperStar Crest Award.
Please note, workshops will only run if we have a sufficient number of attendees (usually around 3+ participants).
Explore University Days
Explore University Days are for young people aged 12 to 15. Participants visit the University for two days and take part in a variety of university-related workshops, and other fun activities.
Previous participants have joined in the following:
·Visited the Sports Centre
·Took part in a Neuroscience workshop
·Enjoyed a two-course meal at a University College
Dates will be confirmed in early December 2019, and a schedule for events will follow in the New Year.
