Yavneh College and the Royal Institution of Great Britain strengthen ties through Masterclasses yet again!
In early 2021, an aspiring and gifted year 12 Yavneh College student, Mr. Josh Morris, who went on to study at Imperial College London, became fascinated with Masterclasses from the Royal Institution of Great Britain (Ri) and lobbied hard for the training. The Ri had been connecting people to Science for well over 200 years and established an international reach, working with world-leading scientists. Sir Christopher Zeeman originally inspired the Masterclass programme over 40 years ago. Masterclasses had grown into a nationwide programme of Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science courses for school students aged 9 to 18 years.
Ms. Alison Eves led a training event on Thursday 14th January 2025 at Yavneh College. Seven year 12s volunteered and worked together to bring forth ideas to inspire a love of learning amongst Primary School children. The contribution of the Ri was well-received, and Ms. Eves was applauded for her work by the year 12s. It is expected that most of these 12s will undertake activities to inspire a love of learning amongst Primary School students.
