The Curriculum
STEMHaus 2023 has been co-designed by staff at Swansea University and a team of leads who are expert teachers in their subjects and come from many different countries such as Sri Lanka, USA, Colombia and the UK. Subject leads are supported by instructors, some of whom are Seren Alumni—Welsh students currently studying at top universities.
Together, they have designed a unique, engaging and diverse range of subject stream content within each subject stream.
Some of the topics this year include:
Medical Physics & Imaging
Design and Optimisation of Electric Propulsion for Spacecraft
Artificial Intelligence
Decoding the ocean cleanup: Super Enzymes Can Eat Away Our Problems
