Forensic Outreach: STEAM Competition
In late February 2016, Forensic Outreach are launching a free worldwide STEAM competition for schools in partnership with Ward’s Science. The competition is hoping to involve nearly 2,000 schools and is aimed at students aged 14-16.
The competition
The premise of the competition, which is based online, involves Leonardo da Vinci’s real-life missing painting: The Battle of Anghiari.
Every week for three weeks, teachers can download a challenge bundle. This bundle contains a lesson plan, worksheets and other resources required to deliver a 20-minute activity. A given group or classroom must work through the challenge provided and submit answers to questions accessible through a virtual classroom.
The competition is designed to encourage students to apply their knowledge of art history, science, mathematics and cryptanalysis to “solve” the mystery of the missing painting.
