Year 9 - Women in STEAM
Our Year 9 girls visited the University of Northampton to attend the Women in STEAM event. The purpose of this event is to encourage and empower students and make them aware of the variety of careers available to women from many different sectors such as construction, engineering, environmental and many more.
The students were able to hear from women speakers about their careers, talk with the many companies around the careers fair and take park in workshops. They were also given a tour of Northampton University by student ambassadors including student accommodation.
