High flying Sixth Form students from 10 colleges and schools across the North East attended a series of Engineering Masterclasses hosted by Newcastle Sixth Form College, which were designed to help them apply for and study at some of the country鈥檚 leading higher education institutions.

探花直播event also aimed to encourage more of the region鈥檚 talented students to take up at university and included a masterclass on advanced aerodynamics, after which the students attempted to put their new found knowledge into practice by creating the perfect paper aeroplane.

探花直播day also tasked students with solving a number of maths problems before ending with a question and answer session that provided tips on how to secure a place at top universities.

One student that benefitted from the event was student Arnold Williams, 18, who lives in Newcastle and is studying Maths, Physics and Art.

He said: 鈥 探花直播masterclasses really helped me to understand what it takes to become a student at a university like Cambridge, as well as how to approach the application process. I鈥檓 focussed on a career in engineering and these masterclasses have helped to improve my outlook of the industry and how to start building my career.鈥

探花直播event took place within the new building, which will be opening its doors to students in September following its 拢22m development on Rye Hill Campus.

Brendan Shepherd, Schools Liaison Officer at Cambridge 探花直播鈥檚 , said: 鈥淲e know there are candidates of a high calibre in the North East and through events such as this we hope to encourage them to consider an application. It is important to us that we fulfil our aim to admit the brightest and best students that this country has to offer and believe that the North East is a hotbed of engineering talent, with individuals that can take their talents to the top of the industry.鈥
