In this workshop we will explore the basic principles and tools for simulating the motion of lots of particles at the same time, and how this can be used to simulate natural phenomena.

In this workshop, we will look at how Cellular Automata can be used in simulation and model the spread of a disease.

Program a robot to explore its environment.

Explore how simulation techniques can be used to understand how micro-organisms survive in the natural environment.

In this festive workshop we will explore object orientated programming by creating snowflakes.

This workshop introduces you to some of the basic principles and tools for simulating motion.

Explore our online talks to inspire young engineers with cutting-edge research and innovation!

In this workshop we will create a particle system that follows 3 simple rules to behave like a flock.

Use Markov chains to create original text e.g. song lyrics.

Unlock the doors to innovation and inspiration as we invite schools to explore the boundless possibilities at our engineering school.

Program a robot in a search and rescue scenario.

The Chemistry Department at the University of Warwick is offering a unique work experience placement opportunity for students (years 10, 11 and 12) from Coventry and Warwickshire schools.

Lab-based work experiences for secondary school students

The Department of Physics offers a small number of work experience placements in the Easter vacation each year for students in Years 10-12.

The work experience placement will provide you with a broad insight into physics and what it would be like to work in a busy university physics department. You will spend time with our highly skilled research and technical staff learning about real-life physics problems and working on exciting research projects.

Learn how to write effective prompts to support your teaching practice, such as preparing lessons and activities.

This activity takes about one hour.

Please contact Khalil.Challita@warwick.ac.uk for more details and to book.

This lecture is for schoolteachers and has two objectives.

The first one is to provide ideas for educators to integrate cybersecurity concepts in their subjects.

The second one is to provide resources for pupils to learn about cybersecurity and practice their skills in a safe environment.

Note that it can be given to KS5 pupils. Please email khalil.challita@warwick.ac.uk for further details. This activity is about an hour in length.

This series aims to open the eyes of young people to the excitement, beauty and value of mathematics, and in turn, inspire the next generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers. The Series is delivered by staff and students from the Mathematics and Statistics Departments. Each masterclass focuses on an aspect of mathematics and there are separate classes for year 9 and year 12 pupils.

This event is running 09:45-13:00 on campus on:

January 24, January 31, February 7, February 28, March 7, March 28th. Please visit this webpage for more details and to register.

More events from the Mathematics Institute can be found on the Menu of Activity and on the department webpage.

Students will experience what life might be like as an international research scientist, visiting the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, to be shown around the beamlines by real-life female scientists, as well as taking part in the Synchrotron@School. (The trip is for Yr 12 female identifying students) Applications via the website; deadline: Midnight 27th February 2026

The annual Warwick Christmas Lectures where scientists leave their labs and entertain audiences. Expect a fun-filled evening packed with festive cheer, laughter and science for the whole family to enjoy. Dates for 2026 to be announced soon!

This is a suite of 10 weekly, face to face classes held in a lecture theatre at the university and delivered by experienced teachers, who are invested in equipping students as mathematical problem solvers.

This course has been redesigned to focus more around the TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission), which has been growing in popularity and is now used by many universities for admission to maths, economics, computer science and statistics degrees.

The classes have an explorative, workshop feel where students are equipped with tools, techniques and tips, and then supported to work through a number of related problems.

Come along and experience what it's like to sit in a lecture theatre in the Maths Institute at Warwick! In this Face to Face event on Wednesday 11th February from 1pm-4pm.

You will find out more about maths admissions tests, have the opportunity to speak to current Warwick Students studying on a maths degree and have a taster maths lecture. There will be an option to stay a bit later and have a tour of the maths department.

Bring your students along to experience what it's like to sit in a lecture theatre at the University of Warwick and join us on Tuesday 24 March, from 9.10am-3.20pm.

Maths and Beyond is a fun, interactive, Maths enrichment event for students in year 10 to inspire them and encourage them to consider taking their study of Maths to A level and beyond.

Throughout the day, the students will attend workshops which can act as a 'taster' to A level Maths, Further Maths and Core Maths to inspire them to take maths beyond GCSE and into post 16. There will also be an element of competition on the day with exciting prize to be won!

New to this year, the students will have an opportunity to hear from and network with University of Warwick Students, staff and alumni to find out more about what they love about maths, their own journey through education and why they chose a maths-related pathway.
