This term has seen King’s provide exciting new opportunities in STEM, with a series of after-school lectures with leading academics from local universities speaking on neuroscience and the use of nanoparticles in cancer-research, as well as hosting talks on aeronautical engineering and leveraging Artificial Intelligence. These presentations have taken place in our new state-of-the-art Science Labs.
