Science and Technology Challenge Day 2019
This took place at Sheffield Hallam University on Monday 1st July and gave a group of our Y8s an insight into STEM at higher level. Activities included robotics, e-fit technology and medical diagnostics.
Throughout the day students worked in mixed school teams, developing their interpersonal relationships and team building skills - imperative for studying a STEM subject at a higher level.
A thoroughly enjoyable and educational event!
