A huge well done to all of the members in our STEM committee for successfully promoting STEM learning across the school.

Thanks to our members, all classes have participated in STEM lessons created by the Maidsafe Foundation.

Additionally, all pupils from P2/3 upwards have entered the ‘If you were an engineer’ Leaders Award. This gave pupils the chance to think like engineers, coming up with a problem and creating a new invention for the solution. The pupils also wrote letters to explain why their invention should be built as a prototype by real engineers!

In our last committee meeting, the pupils engaged in a design challenge. We looked at the strength of eggs and what birds use to protect them. The pupils then used some of those ideas to build an egg protector which we then put to the test.

Take a look at our results!
