P6 and P7 girls had the unique experience of attending a SmartSTEM event at Strathclyde University. SmartSTEM provide equity of opportunity to young people into STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) with particular focus on the gender gap. The girls experienced Plastic Cup Challenge, workshop based around product design, manufacture and teamwork, LED workshop and Social Media Content Creation workshop. SmartSTEM interviewed those attending and this can be viewed in August on SmartSTEM TV. Hopefully this event will inspired our pupils to go forward to select one of the STEM professions for their future careers.
