The students engaged well with the variety of resources. The fact that they were up to date and the practical resources were those used in industry was good."

IMAGINE the Target:Mars Experience.

'Whole-group tasks' are designed to develop transferable skills and encourage team building. These tasks include all pupils and allow us to deliver complex experiments in a controlled environment whilst progressing the story of 'Target Mars'.

'Team Challenges' allow a team of pupils to determine the team members best suited to each challenge. This requires an analysis of the skills and attributes possessed by each pupil. Many 'challenges' are designed to run in parallel. This allows a variety of learning styles to be catered for within the event time and ensures pupils within a team have a unique experience!
