Strathclyde Uni – S2 girls virtual STEM Event

 

A reminder that this girls-only STEM event requires students to apply by 17th Feb.  Further advice and how to apply are below.

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 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 teacher’s 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.
