FREE club starting 24 January 2026 for Year 10 students – apply now
We are pleased to offer Year 10 students the opportunity to take part in the 2026 National Saturday Club which CSES will host, once again, at ARU in Chelmsford. As with everything we do at CSES, the Saturday Club is completely free of charge!
The club will provide an opportunity for year 10 students to experience a range of different Science and Engineering topics using the state-of-the-art Super Lab and workshop facilities at ARU's Chelmsford Campus. Each session will explore the science and engineering behind real life activities and problems that can affect our daily lives. In addition to laboratory and workshop sessions, there will also be visits to science and technology related organisations. The NSC also organise for us a masterclass with leading industry professionals and a Summer Show at Somerset House in July.
CSES and ARU have, for decades, offered lectures, workshops and hands-on activities to enthuse school children to fulfil their potential in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM subjects) and our Saturday Club, starting on the 24th of January 2026, will run for 15 weeks. The sessions will take place from 10.00 am – 12.30 pm on Saturday mornings during term time at ARU's Chelmsford Campus. More information on the National Saturday Clubs and the online application form can be found on their website HERE.
Places are limited, so to be considered please submit an application as soon as possible, as we will make our decisions at the end of the autumn term. Please note that this is not a drop-in club. We have a maximum of thirty places and if you are successful in securing a place, we expect you to attend every week during our 2026 programme.
