The aim of the day was to inform and inspire the students by working with undergraduates and Lecturers in the Chemical Engineering and Robotics Faculty of the University who showcased some of the incredible work that degree students are engaged in. They took part in a Cyanotyope workshop with a Chemical Engineer who has worked for Nasa, producing images through oxidation and exposure to UV light. They also spent time in the Robotics department, winning a competition to guide a light following robot using the torch on their phones around a track in the shortest possible time. They then had an opportunity to speak to current students about their education journey before taking up their degree courses, gaining valuable advice which will help them to make informed decisions with regards their GCSE options. ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/blog/thumbnail_IMG_1374.jpg) ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/blog/thumbnail_IMG_1375.jpg) ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/blog/thumbnail_IMG_1410.jpg) ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/blog/thumbnail_IMG_1411.jpg) ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/blog/thumbnail_IMG_1384.jpg) ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/blog/thumbnail_IMG_1412.jpg) [STEM Events](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/blog/tag/stem-events) [Extra-Curricular](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/blog/tag/extra-curricular) [ English - Applying for the role of Prime Minister](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/blog/2022-07-10-12-00-00-english-applying-for-the-role-of-prime-minister) [Eco Group make it in to the 10 years of Hugh Kenrick Days Publication ](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/blog/2022-09-29-12-13-07-eco-group-make-it-in-to-the-10-years-of-hugh-kenrick-days-publication) ![Bishop Challoner Catholic College](https://files.schudio.com/bishop-challoner-catholic-college/images/logo/logo(6).png) ### Bishop Challoner Catholic College Institute Road Kings Heath Birmingham B14 7EG 0121 444 4161 0121 441 1552 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552167475288) - [Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZYD3XtsauCowKyzMKMfuQ) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bishop-challoner-catholic-college) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bishopchallonercatholiccollege/#) © Copyright 2017–2026 Bishop Challoner Catholic College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
