On Tuesday 16th June a small group of Year 7 students took part in the first North West Rising Mathematician Festival.

The group are already regular attendees at our Axiom Maths Circle Club and this day was run by Axiom to celebrate all things Maths. The students spent the morning problem solving and worked collaboratively with students from across the North West.

They then had an aspirational talk from staff at the Central Tech building about careers in STEM and how we are lucky in Liverpool to have a Knowledge Quarter which is fantastic for innovation.

After lunch they were then treated to a lecture by Colin Wright, a Mathematician who enthralled them with the 'Maths in Juggling'. The lecture was highly entertaining and informative and our students even got a chance to try their hand at some juggling skills at the end! A fantastic day was had by all!
