Happy International Women’s Day! Being in the IWD assembly last week at @DeltaDarton made me reminisce my PhD days, where I was the first female PhD student in the @millsgroupchem… I feel so lucky being a teacher and hopefully, inspiring lots of young future female scientists 👩🏼‍🔬

It was amazing to meet so many young people and their parents & carers at our open evening last night. There was definitely some future scientists in there! #ProudofDarton @DeltaDarton

[DeltaDartonScience @DartonDelta]

Our students showed amazing teamwork, communication and resilience throughout the day @DeltaDarton #ProudofDarton

Yesterday, we spent the day with secondary schools from Delta Academies Trust to introduce them to our Dr Robert Pleming's Delta Wings Design Challenge.

We had a fun-filled day of learning about the Vulcan XH558, building model aeroplanes and planning for their designs.
