STEM Family Evening

This week 9 families came along to learn more about STEM. Keith Walker from the RAISE team told them all about STEM. He explained about all the different job prospects in these STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). He also told them that the wages in these STEM professions are very good and unfortunately there are more men than women in these jobs. Afterwards each family took part in a challenge. They had to make a rocket out of a large water bottle. Using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda they had to launch the rocket into the sky. Everyone had such good fun. Some of the rockets went really high. If they didn’t work they had to use their problem solving skills. Thanks to everyone who came along. .
