Mr Tom Bramald, from the University of Newcastle was in school today to offer a presentation to pupils on Shape, Space and Measure – Maths and Geomatics Come Together.
Geomatics is the modern name for surveying and mapping sciences and maths underpins the science.  This session allowed pupils to collect real-world data using modern geomatics equipment, complete trigonometric and Pythagorean calculations and discover a new, maths-based science.
