Taster Events
Our academic schools hold a range of taster events, student panels and alumni discussions throughout the year to give you a taste of the subjects we teach.
From Pixel to Populations - Mathematics Event
Monday 13 July 2026
11am - 2.30pm (BST)
Mile End Campus
Are you interested in how AI actually works and how it can have a positive impact on our environment? Join Mathematicians at Queen Mary University of London to find out. In an interactive session you can use real data from wildlife conservation projects and explore the mathematics behind one of today's most exciting technologies.
Designed for students in Years 10–13, the session takes you through a genuine research pipeline used by scientists in the field. You'll use AI to identify individual animals from images, then apply statistical models to estimate how many animals are living in the wild, exactly the kind of work being done right now to protect endangered species like sea turtles.
