STEM Workshop 2019

June 14, 2019

A selection of our year 9 pupils participated in an IET Faraday Challenge Day. They had the opportunity to research, design and make prototype solutions to genuinely tough engineering problems. It provided them with an exciting opportunity to engage in STEM subjects and become aware of the benefits of careers within Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The winners on the day received a prize for themselves and a trophy for the school. Well done everyone
