Network Rail-Siemens Competition

If you were unable to join us online recently for the S2 Curriculum Choice Evening, then the video below will provide you with everything that was discussed on the night.

Strathclyde University have managed to modify and adapt their The Young WEIR-WISE: Discovering Engineering with S2 girls programme to allow our S2 girls to learn about STEM and engineering online.

The programme will run on the 26th and 27th April from 10am – 12.30pm both days.

In order to be part of the programme, students are required to complete a short application form and have this submitted by Wednesday, 17th February 2021.

In addition, Mr Boag is also required to submit a statement in support of any student’s application. It is therefore vital that any S2 girl applying for this event emails Mr Boag to make him aware.

Successful students will be notified, by email, by the 10th March.

For more information on the event and the sorts of challenges that are part of the programme, please visit Strathclyde University’s the Young WEIR-WISE website.

In summary

1. The student application form – https://young-weir-wise.eng.strath.ac.uk/application-form.aspx
2. Students should email Mr Boag (PT STEM) to allow him to submit a teachers statement in support of the student application; email address gw08boagstuart2@glow.sch.uk
3. Students have to commit to attending both of the days above, if successful.
