Students from Years 8 and 9 had a STEM masterclass  yesterday, February 9, delivered by an expert, Nick Naylor,  from ‘Tomorrow’s Engineers’.

The workshops were a mix of practical and paper-based activities around the topic of engineering.

The areas covered included a session called ‘Our World, Your Future’ that looked at the implication of the increasing world population whilst ‘The Energy Mix’ covered renewable and non-renewable energy.

They particularly enjoyed the section on Kinetic Energy as they had to build a solar powered car which they found challenging and fascinating.

Mrs Larkin is the school STEM Co-ordinator and commented: “The boys enjoyed the workshops so much that many commented to me that they would really like to pursue the possibilities of a career in engineering which is tremendous.”
