Future Fridays- STEM Challenge starting Friday 5th November

Are you interested in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics)? Come and take part in a STEM challenge focusing on water. Water access across the globe is one of the main topics at the COP26 climate conference taking place in Glasgow just now. Unfortunately, millions of people still do not have access to clean water, they have to walk and carry their water great distances, and it can be dirty and contain pollutants.

If you would like to know more about global water access and water waste and conservation in the home, speak to Mr Cairney or Mrs Watson (Science Technicians) to sign up.
