On Tuesday 23 May, staff, parents and students gathered for a wonderful evening of academic debate. The Third Form Academic Scholars had produced posters of their research on a topic sparked by one of the earlier sessions in the Academic Scholars Programme which included Astronomy, History of Art, Ecology, Existentialism, Economic Thought, Engineering, Music Technology, and Linguistics.
There was a fascinating range of projects on show. Mimi C (O) analysed the Spring Budget through the lens of inequality. Leo W (M) looked at the ethics of Big Data and Sebastian W (Pn) the ethics of AI. Thomas H (Hl) produced a fascinating review of the impact of social media on the Ukraine War effort whilst Benjamin Z (R) looked at a number of different case studies in order to assess the impact of Hedge Funds on their acquisitions. Rohan G (R) produced an in depth study of how Shepard Tones create the illusion of infinity in order to evoke emotion in advertising.
