Every teacher who brought students to a STEM Day at Wellington College has said they would recommend it to other schools.
Asked for their feedback after the event, 100% of respondents also agreed that the day had been a valuable addition to their school’s enrichment, co curricular or careers activities programme.
One added: “The best part was collaborating with others, the practical side of learning, and being able to use equipment that we don’t have in our school like Lego and the Turing Table,” and another praised the high quality teaching.
The event, run by the Wellington College Student Alliance, featured lessons in biology, DET, computer science, and maths.
There was also an ibricks Lego session run by House of Fun, which challenged the students to build a tank that could go fast, using knowledge about transmissions and gear ratios.
The DET lesson gave the students 40 minutes to make a marble run out of card, straws, tape and glue. Working in pairs, the aim was to keep the marble moving for as long as possible, with two students from Gordons School taking the prize.
The schools involved included Edgbarrow, Collingwood, Yateley and The Forest, with 140 students attending along with their teachers.
