Pictured above is Science Demonstrator Neil Monteiro, Science teacher Mrs Bradley and a mixture of Year 8 and Year 9 students that enjoyed the show.

Science Demonstrator Neil Monteiro attended St Pauls on Thursday 22 January as part of Sentinus Big Bang Road Show.

As part of the show, samples of pupils STEM projects were displayed on the day. Neil presented Engineering Superheroes to Year 8 and Year 9 pupils to raise their awareness of STEM careers.

The Year 10 pupils watched Impossible Science which was aimed to develop the skill of scientific thinking. Both shows proved highly entertaining as pupils engaged in demonstrations and impossible science activities.
