Today D&T had a fascinating visit from STEM ambassador Ben Lepley who explained where products come from with the help of his pet rocks - a lot of shiny ores and minerals!
We all loved it! Thanks Ben!

Check out engineering as a career; the UK needs more engineers! You could be the next big problem solver!

Thursday, the Seren pupils in year 9 were invited to Swansea University with other schools from Bridgend District, to discover more about Material Engineering.
A huge thank you to the Seren coordinators and University staff.
