SmartSTEMs is a charity that we have worked with for 6 years now, who inspire and engage our S1 students with all things STEM. Every year a number of our S1 students would attend a smartSTEMs event and hear from industry leaders about the interesting, creative and varied STEM careers open to them. Students would also have the opportunity to get hands-on with technologies such as drones, cyber security and many others.
With all SmartSTEMs events cancelled they are looking to create a series of short STEM related videos on two things:
- #MyJob – what STEM field you work in and what skills that mainly involves.
- #MyJourney – the route you took to get to where you are today.
If there are any parents or carers, working in a STEM job, who are willing to share their experiences, then please register your details directly with SmartSTEMs. Please be aware that the STEM videos will be uploaded on to the SmartSTEMs YouTube Channel and could be shared with schools as far afield as London and the Netherlands.
Finally, if you wish to learn more about SmartSTEMs, then give their Annual Report a read – Barrhead High feature on page 17.
