Extreme sports workshop

A group of Year 7 from Corby Technical School students visited extreme sports venue Adrenaline Alley to part in a variety of exciting workshops that promoted Science.

The students joined seven other schools at the Adrenaline Science Day for a series of science, technology, engineering, art and maths activities which were organised by the University of Northampton and Aim Higher Northamptonshire.

The science of scooters and BMX tricks were just some of the demonstrations which took place to help students understand subjects in a fun way.

CTS Science Teacher Stephen Cox said: “Our students really enjoyed the day and they really engaged with the activities.

“They designed and built a skate ramp, investigated what impact movement has on heart rates and studied BMX and scooter displays.”

The students also examined a variety of other topics including bones and blood in feet, light and movement, nutrition and sport and exercise.

Adrenaline Science was co-ordinated by Aspire Northamptonshire, a partnership between the University, Aim Higher Northamptonshire, Libraries, Moulton College, Northampton College and Tresham College of Further and Higher Education.
