Ch9 Medics Workshop

Understanding what vital signs of healthy individuals look like is the first step in diagnosing unhealthy patients. Using a wide variety of real medical equipment (pulse oximeters to measure pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels, thermometers to measure temperature, stethoscopes to listen to breathing, peak flows to measure lung capacity and sphygmomanometers to measure blood pressure) pupils  were able to compare the vital signs of a range of clinical case scenarios and offer possible medical diagnoses. Further evidence was then presented to test pupils' theories, including xrays, lung sounds and patient telemedicine interviews. A wonderful workshop to inspire future medics!

Police Photofit workshop – Liverpool College are Regional Winners!

Have you ever wondered what sort of witness you might make if you were to observe a crime? Could you recall facial details and distinguishing features? This week, Chapter 9 pupils were given the incredibly unique opportunity of exploring forensic facial composite software, effectively used in real police investigations, to construct facial composites of offenders as observed by witnesses and victims of crime. After lessons in the features of computer software, the pupils were then surprised with news of a theft within the classroom by a recent female visitor, and then asked to use the software to create a photofit of the perpetrator. Competing against others schools in a North West heat, the winners of the closest photofit competition were two of our very own students – Tom C and Luca H, who both were awarded trophies to recognise their high level of technical skills.

Game changing!

Chapter 10 and Chapter 12 students interested in careers in gaming and programming attended in a superb event this week. Hosted by Liverpool Hope University, the event included some of the biggest names in the gaming industry. Organized by Liverpool City Region Careers Hub  and All About STEM, the event included representatives from playstation, NextGen, DrawtoCode, Lucid Games and Ripstone. The students learnt that Liverpool City Region (LCR) is home to some of the biggest Games Developers and publishers in the world. The students also learnt about concept design, marketing, testing, intellectual property, how characters are developed from the conceptual to the 3D models and even the role human psychology plays in the field. The students took part in a round robin of five, fabulous, bespoke events,  each designed to explore a different career option available in the Digital and Creative Sector. It was a superb event, and for those interested in a possible career in this field, it really was a game changing experience!

National Crimebeat Awards Win

Such a surreal day.

In March UrbanScape became an award-winning community garden, winning first place at the National Crimebeat Awards. I have worked on the project since establishing Mulgrave Street Action Group CIC August 2021. Still, I was dumbfounded to win not just the 1^st place at the awards on behalf of UrbanScape, but also take home the award for the best presentation! I was ready to go home with nothing as being a finalist in an honour enough.
