Event description
To infinity and beyond - where studying maths can take you
To infinity and beyond.... where maths after GCSE can take you.
Three schools from a Multi Academy Trust have each asked for a session to inspire their Year 9 girls with studying maths beyond GCSE.
The whole session will be an hour, led by a member of the Advanced Maths Support Programme. In the first part (max 30 mins) we would like to have a panel event containing relatable but inspiring women like yourselves. In the second part we will be having an interactive maths activity for the students to complete. (You are not required to take part in that)
Speakers will ‘tell a story’ about their career journey (5- 10mins) including some of the following.
How did they feel about maths at school
What subjects did you go on to study
• How maths played a part and how maths is relevant now
• What inspired them to choose their career path
• Their failures, as well as successes
• What their company does and why this is important
• What they enjoy most about their career
• Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now.
Q&As will follow to end the session.
