Crystallisation Day
An interactive showcase of the many aspects of modern Chemistry
Analytical Monopoly
An interactive session that uses the Monopoly game as a learning platform for analytical techniques
Ice, Ice, Baby!
A session focused on ice - so simple, and yet to complicated. Why does that matter - and, can you build an ice crystal?
Biology Activity
Looking at skulls and bones and examining digestive system tissues under the microscope
Flocking
In this workshop we will create a particle system that follows 3 simple rules to behave like a flock.
Make Your Own Pet Bug
Explore how simulation techniques can be used to understand how micro-organisms survive in the natural environment.
Engineering On-campus Visit
Unlock the doors to innovation and inspiration as we invite schools to explore the boundless possibilities at our engineering school.
Computational Snowflakes
In this festive workshop we will explore object orientated programming by creating snowflakes.
Text Generation with Markov Chains
Use Markov chains to create original text e.g. song lyrics.
Modelling using Cellular Automata
In this workshop, we will look at how Cellular Automata can be used in simulation and model the spread of a disease.
Particle Systems
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.
Vectors and Forces
This workshop introduces you to some of the basic principles and tools for simulating motion.
Warwick Medical School Work Experience
Lab-based work experiences for secondary school students

Chemistry Work Experience
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. This work experience would suit individuals who are specifically looking to study Chemistry at the University of Warwick. The three-day programme will allow students to gain hands-on experience of working in a chemistry lab and provide an insight into studying at a top university as well.
