Fifty Year 10 students participated in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) event at St. Julie's.

The event was delivered by visiting engineers from the Smallpeice Trust who were able to engage the students in a ‘whole day' design and make experience.

The design scenario centred around a collapsed railway bridge, and required a design for a replacement bridge and a motorised vehicle to run along it. Participants were encouraged to consider elements of design, properties of materials, costing and the manufacture of a finished products which could be both tested and evaluated at the end of the day.

Two of the participating students, Frances Eedle and Olivia Hood, were given the opportunity to attend a residential course at Liverpool University next April!

All involved thought that it was a rewarding and thought provoking experience and we look forward to welcoming the Smallpeice Trust back to St. Julie's in the future.
