Delicious Pi

At Thomas Tallis school, they have produced an excellent fanzine celebrating maths and how it is reflected in all walks of life. It is a free publication and contains interviews and interesting facts.


Below is their blurb:


"We’re going to come right out and say it: maths is beautiful. Numbers are everywhere, and not just in the classroom or in the maths block. The possibilities are endless. You can see numbers in nature, in humans, in everyday life and throughout the design of Thomas Tallis School. Within these few pages of Delicious Pi we are going to take you on a journey to see how maths affects absolutely everything. And who knows, it might even change your view of the world."

"The STEM Challenge was a cross curriculum project incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The aim of the project was to engage YR 8 female students with the aforementioned and raise attainment in these subject areas."- Victoria Emes, Specialist Schools Team.

Below is a video from a STEM day workshop to encourage girls in Year 7 at Fortismere to consider pathways in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths which Mr Crompton set up to coincide with Theme Days in July 2010 and might be an interesting project to evaluate in one of our CLN Forums, helping to inform the new STEM extra-curricular initiatives being developed:
