Designed for STEM Ambassadors to present, in this activity students experiment with a programme containing a path-finding algorithm. They look at the use of messaging in the programme and record how the length of time an algorithm takes to run is affected by changing the starting conditions.

In this activity students observe what happens when water or fat soluble pigments are added to water, oil or both. They mix a water soluble ink or food dye with water and add oil. They then mix grated carrot with water before adding oil. The students record their observations, attempt explanations and suggest...
