Airbus Engineering Challenge and STEM Careers day

(Posted on 22/05/15)

Year 8 pupils attended a challenge and careers day hosted by Glyndwr University and TeamTech. The focus of the day was to allow pupils access to a variety of career challenges hosted by a number of leading Welsh and internationally companies and universities based on Engineering, Design and Science opportunities. Pupils had the opportunity to work as teams to complete tasks set by a variety of different scenarios such as IOS programming, creative design, numerical and manufacturing problems. Ysgol Y Grango were awarded a prize for the best team working group during the IOS challenge and were extremely positive about the whole event. The event gave pupils an opportunity to try their hand at experiments, to handle leading edge technology and, most importantly to spend time with the Engineers, Technologists and Scientists influencing their 21st century lives. Thank you to Airbus for investing in the time to show our young pupils the future in Engineering Design
