On Monday the 12th March 2018, C24 went out on fieldwork to The University of Leeds as part of their new expedition for STEAM. Students got an insight into what life was like on campus, and they discovered the huge variety of courses available to study at degree level.
Mark Patterson of the University of Leeds organised the morning around exploring characteristics for different career paths, and existing students from the faculty of medicine and dentistry hosted our fieldwork and supported students throughout. They took part in different seminars around exploring various aspects of higher education whilst the afternoon was more focused on immersing students in the next expedition.
After lunch, students took part in a lecture with Student Dr. Tom learning about bacteria, pathogens, and different types of diseases. Spending such quality time with an expert is a key aspect of our expeditionary learning model, and it allowed them to engage with high quality expertise in the field of medicine. This part of the day was also designed to provide an element of mystery around what expedition students would be learning about next (this would not be revealed until the following day.)
As you will see from the photos and video, our immersion fieldwork to Leeds was a fantastic day and a great experience for our students.
