Science Week at Adastral Park


Last Monday, year 6 ventured to Adastral Park as part of BT’s Science Week programme of activities. They were put into small groups and saw science in action and how it could be effectively used in the future. 
Amongst many other displays, there was a shop and hospital of the future as well as a duplicate of Theresa May’s door! 
The children were able to see how finger print technology, eye recognition and virtual key chains worked to facilitate maximum security. 
Whilst looking at shop security mechanisms, children were able to see how shop owners could detect the demographic of people entering their shop and what part of the shop they frequented the most. 
After a structured tour, the children were able to visit stands which enabled them to experience technology such as virtual reality, etc. 
A truly inspirational experience for all involved.
