EDUC ATION

Ex Science in Action More than 150 cadets discovered how STEM subjects are used in the Army THE SECOND Exercise Science in Action camp, which teaches cadets about how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are used in the Army, took place on 22-27 October at Westdown Camp in Wiltshire. Thanks to the success of the first Science in Action camp in 2016, the number of places available was doubled in 2017, but with over 300 applications the competition for places was fierce. In total 157 cadets from across the ACF and CCF (Army) took part. The camp consisted of a series of activities and short lessons, showing how the Army uses a wide array of technology. Tuition was provided by Army experts and by CFAVs with STEM subject expertise.

During the week the cadets visited Royal Signals, Royal Artillery, Royal Logistics Corps, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), Army Air Corps and Royal Engineers. The cadets took part in a range of hands-on activities, including: learning about how a drone works then flying one; designing and constructing a bridge to span a 14-inch gap using limited resources; designing a water filtration system; and building a Yagi antenna. Cadet Kaitlyn Heywood, from Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire ACF, said she learned about careers she’d never thought of before: “We took part in many activities from landing a helicopter to pulling a truck out of a swamp. It has shown me the STEM jobs in the Army.”
