STEM Challenge

Chapter 9 Wilton Scholars became build professionals for the day this week, travelling to Cronton College to participate in the annual Merseyside STEM Challenge. They first needed to create a company name that reflected their ethos and principles and assign roles: a company director,  a sustainability officer, a marketing manager, surveyors and a brand manager. The students then worked collaboratively to write a mission statement. The challenge was to design a sustainable school, including landscaping the grounds and considering energy requirements and conservation. After a full day of designing and creating, the students had to present their project to the room, with students voting on their favourite overall design. The event was enhanced by the surprise arrival of a pizza van - with free pizzas to all participants. All attending students gained value, transferrable skills from the fabulous STEMTASTIC experience.
