Sorry to let you know that the YESC Ayrshire Regional Celebration of STEM, due to take place tomorrow has been postponed date TBC.

Unfortunately, a number of industry partners, due to set hands-on STEM challenges at this event have had to pull out due to company travel restrictions. I will update you in due course of the alternative arrangements.

STEM WEEK

STEM WEEK 2019

We are excited to announce that our annual STEM WEEK will be taking place week beginning 18th February 2019!

This will be a fantastic opportunity to engage our pupils with a variety of activities to convey the importance of (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in their daily lives.

Are you a parent, grand parent, auntie, friend of the school? Do you work or have an interest in any of the STEM areas? Are you an engineer or do you have links to the engineering industry?  If the answer is YES, then we would be delighted to have your help and support during our STEM Week.

For instance, we would be delighted to hear from a range of occupations including:

doctor, nurse, air traffic controller, pilot, mechanic, graphic designer, scientist, IT, accountant, joiner, architect,  etc

Could you please leave your details below including any thoughts on what you could offer our pupils and Mr McDowell will contact you.

Many thanks.
