Stanhope-Seta Proudly Partakes in STEAM Event at Thorpe Park
Seta inspires our next generation of young engineers at Thorpe Park.
Stanhope-Seta had a thrilling experience at Thorpe Park on the 15th of October. Over 10,000 students attended ACS International Schools 2024 STEAM event celebrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths. Students between the ages of 8-18 had access to several educational activities, career speakers, bookable shows and of course, access to the rides.
Our Business and Community Lead Jadranka Nicholls attended with two of our R&D Graduate Mechanical Engineers, Josie and Dom, who held a workshop focusing on the importance of clean and dry fuels to ensure safe travel. Using the Series 3 Flash Point Tester, the Seta team demonstrated flash point tests on jet fuel and mouthwash samples.
Josie and Dom also demonstrated how the SetaCheck Biodiesel instrument works with diesel samples of various biofuel percentages. Following the demonstration, a discussion was had with the students on the significance of introducing sustainable fuels to reduce carbon emissions and offset the need for fossil fuels. By running samples on our instruments, students had the opportunity to witness first-hand the techniques and applications used in today’s laboratories for scientific research and testing.
“A huge thank you to you and your team for being such an integral part of yesterday’s success. We have received so many lovely comments, all saying how great the activities were; you made the day truly memorable for all the students involved, thank you.” – Jen Baguley ACS International Schools Partnerships Events Manager.
We are thrilled to have been one of the 55 exhibitors at the event to help inspire and encourage the next generation of young engineers.
