We absolutely love seeing their creativity taking shape and can’t wait to see the finished designs! 🧵🌸

Year 7 STEM Roadshow 🌟

Our Year 7s recently enjoyed ‘Material World – Engineering the Future’, an interactive show bringing STEM to life through theatre, science and storytelling! 🔬⚙️

Pupils explored how everyday materials drive cutting-edge technology, discovered STEM in action across engineering, manufacturing and aerospace, and learnt how creativity and problem-solving can lead to exciting future careers. 💡🚀

A huge thank you to hi-impact for such a fun, engaging and inspiring experience! 👏🌟
