Liverpool University STEM day

Chapter 9 scholars were invited this week to attend Liverpool University for a celebration of STEM. The event was arranged by the Faculty of Science and Engineering and took place in the superb central teaching libraries within the University campus. Pupils participated in multiple different events including bionic engineering, creating hydrogel sensors in molecular gastronomy and exploring AI technology in computer science. The sessions took place in the teaching laboratories and gave the pupils an opportunity to use university level equipment which they were extremely impressed by! They thoroughly enjoyed this part and were able to take their creations home with them. The day ended with a careers talk from one of the lecturers where pupils were given various STEM jobs and asked to research from the prospectus the route from GCSE to getting that job. The pupils were a credit to the school and it was wonderful to see them realise the wonderful opportunities open to them if they embraced the world of STEM.
