On Tuesday, 4th March, we had the pleasure of welcoming two STEM experts from the construction industry to our school. They hosted an engaging workshop for some of our Year 7 and 8 students who have shown a keen interest in pursuing careers in STEM fields.
During the session, our guests presented an exciting challenge: the pupils were tasked with designing both the exterior and interior of an office building. As they worked on their designs, the experts shared valuable insights about various careers linked to construction, including architects, interior designers, engineers, and health and safety officers. They also discussed the subjects that students should consider studying to effectively prepare for these roles.
The pupils were not only challenged creatively but also inspired by fascinating facts about iconic buildings. For instance, did you know that the Eiffel Tower grows an impressive 15cm during the summer months due to the heat expansion of the metal?
Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn about the exciting possibilities within the STEM sector and to spark their imaginations about future careers. We look forward to more events like this in the future!
