Masterclass – now closed – watch for the next date!
Valerie Maxville and Shyam Drury have worked together to develop a Year 10 STEM project that reflects the real work of ‘dry lab’ scientists.
This project explores the absorption of drugs like aspirin in the blood stream and uses mathematical modelling and simulation to determine a dosage regime for a new medicinal drug.
Presenters:
Valerie Maxville and Shyam Drury
Objectives:
To understand how to run a project combining science, mathematics and digital technologies, providing rigour and deep exploration of each of the disciplines and reflecting real world practice.
