Well done boys!
We were very lucky to have the opportunity to attend a STEM event last week. At this event we had the chance to meet people who have jobs and careers in these subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and heard all about their journeys. Glasgow Clyde college had arranged some great workshops and we had a chance to attend 3. These workshops included:
Hydrogen Fuel cells – having a chance to see how these work and creating a circuit to make a fan go on.
Robots – getting to see behind the scenes on how to program a robot.
Apps – Alexander and Scott had the chance to make their own game, which was a version of the famous ‘Flappy Bird’.
Brick Layering and weaving.
During our lunch break we also had the chance to meet different exhibitors and ask them questions about their jobs and organisations. By the end of it we learnt that there are so many options out there for future job prospects, jobs we had never even thought about.
Scott, Alexander, Beth, Cayla, Abigail and Ruby.
