In an innovative and unusual approach to maths, the workshop involved a carousel of activities including testing pupils’ reaction times under differing conditions; using investigative measures to decipher codes; planning and co-ordinating catering services
for large numbers of personnel;loading a cargo bay; testing skills of observation by identifying aircraft and shapes from aerial photographs; measuring and estimating noise levels; and plotting co-ordinates to arrange flight plans.

It was a popular and challenging interactive session with one of the instructors commending the students for their teamwork, communication and problem solving skills, commenting that “ these are some of the best sets of pupils we have ever worked with!”
