A very exciting development opportunity for our Science Lead, Mrs Millett, recently as she participated in the Nord Anglia MIT collaboration in Boston. Victoria had the privilege of visiting Neurology labs, exploring the MIT museum, engaging in interactive bacterial photography labs, and attending guest lectures from MIT Professor, Faez Ahmed, on machine learning and AI in humans, as well as insights from NASA astronaut Professor Jeffrey Hoffman. This experience provided a perfect platform for networking with fellow scientists across the NAE group. This was also an opportunity for Mrs Millett to find out how we can use the MIT collaboration to promote more student-led learning within our classrooms, support interdisciplinary learning across multiple subjects and instil the love of learning that comes from investigations within the STEAM subjects.
