The last Aspire Clubs of this academic year took place this week for Years 7 and 8, led by the Mathematics Department.
Dr Nyawako gave a fascinating presentation on his earlier career in engineering before he became a teacher. He introduced our students to wave frequency and its application to real world problems such as London’s Millennium Bridge which famously swayed so much when first opened that it had to be closed.
The session also involved audience participation and touched on a whole range of careers where mathematical and scientific understanding can be applied to enhance structures, particularly as building design becomes ever more innovative and complex.
