On Tuesday, 6 Year 6 girls attended a STEM workshop run by AWE. The pupils took part in so many interesting and varied workshops run by the AWE ambassadors. The purpose of the workshops was to encourage girls into STEM subjects.
 

We built paper airplanes and launched them using straws, the group explored how adding fins stabilised the flight journey. We also built electric circuits and used chromatography paper to create flowers which light up. In addition, we built hovercrafts out of CDs, bottle tops and balloons. Then, we made water ‘walk’ using kitchen towel and food colouring. They worked as a team to build the most stable bridge and finally we made lava lamps using oil, water and food colouring. As you can see it was a jam packed, exciting day that captured the pupils’ curiosity. 
 

Thank you to the AWE team for organising such a fantastic day.
