Year 8 STEM Workshop
On Tuesday 19th December, our Year 8 were the lucky beneficiaries of an active STEM workshop provided by “Spark”, a charitable organisation that aims to develop young people’s employability skills and knowledge so that they are better prepared for and able to effectively transition into the workplace. Students considered different roles and the employability skills required at Heathrow Airport and then engaged in a fun activity where they had to programme a robotic vehicle to follow a particular path and perform certain routines. Students were divided into groups where they had to perform a particular role, including project manager, project designer and programmer. They also had to work together to try and ensure the product was effective, well designed and performed all the tasks required of it.
