Students attend Royal Institute Engineering Masterclasses at Leonardo UK
On Saturday 26th November, selected Year 9 science students and STEM coordinator Mrs Quinton celebrated the completion of a fascinating course that they had attended at Leonardo UK, based in Luton. Students Jonathan Ryall, Sam Catalano, Jake Tablada,Thomas McGrath-Brown and Louis Ertl have just completed a six week course in engineering at the company, as part of the ongoing STEM programme.
The Engineering Masterclasses, run by the Royal Institution, introduce young people to engineering, allowing them to gain insight into the creativity, practice and relevance of this diverse discipline. Each masterclass was presented by a practising engineer from industry or academia. Students worked on a practical project, focusing on a different topic whilst learning the theory underpinning the subject and experiencing how science and maths connect to real-life engineering challenges.
Congratulations to the students who completed this prestigious course and whose knowledge of engineering has been enhanced as a result.
