10,000 students descend on Thorpe Park for a rollercoaster day of STEAM learning
On 15 October, Thorpe Park opened its doors exclusively for 10,000 primary and secondary students attending the ACS International Schools’ STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) 2024 event.
Building on the power of gamification in education, students participated in educational STEAM activities from over 50 of ACS International Schools’ partners - including Royal Air Force, Microsoft and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - to turn their learning into coupons for rides on Thorpe Park’s rollercoasters.
Speaking about the STEAM 2024 event, ACS International Schools’ Partnerships Director, Graeme Lawrie MBE, said: '
What a day it has been, welcoming over 10,000 students and our partners to Thorpe Park for a truly unforgettable educational experience. Collaborations such as this not only highlight the importance of ACS International Schools’ charitable mission, but also the positive impact of working together to inspire career paths in STEAM. A huge thank you to all of the individuals and organisations that supported us for a rollercoaster day of learning.'
