All S1 girls are invited to attend the smartSTEMs event on Friday, 30th November.

The smartSTEMs event is a FREE event for S1 girls only. Girls will be out of school all day, and lunch is usually provided free of charge.

The smartSTEMs event brings together different Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths (STEM) companies to allow young people to fully understand how vital STEM skills are.  Last year’s event had a number of virtual reality companies showcasing  VR headsets and drones, as well as the The Royal Navy with an engineering challenge and the Forestry Commission highlighting sustainability.

Students are given the opportunity to get involved with the challenges, drones and VR headsets, as well as ask questions about future careers and jobs. There is also the chance to win some vouchers for your school, or a drone for yourself.

If you are interested in attending this event, then please see Mr Boag (Maths) by Monday, 12th November.

I currently only have 10 places available, should more than 10 students ask to attend, then I will organise a ballot.
