PRESTWICK AEROSPACE STEM WEEK

Tuesday 29 August marked our S2 trip to Prestwick Aerospace STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) week.  It was a fantastic event where pupils got the chance to participate in various STEM workshops, exhibitions and interactive games.

They started the day as Astro-school students and learned how the Hubble telescope is used to find new planets.  Next, it was off to the concourse to build and race land yachts.  Pupils worked in teams, with help from Glasgow Science Centre, to design models using Lego.  Well done to the winning team of Ewan Logie, Abby Dunn, Katelyne Tate and Robbie Neill who even managed to beat the teachers hands down!  Finally, our S2s donned white lab coats and became forensic scientists for the afternoon.  Led by researchers from the University of Strathclyde, they used the latest techniques to find the culprit of a crime.

Our pupils were able to see how their STEM subjects could be used in careers in the aviation, aerospace and space industries.  A great day was had by all!
