@profbradgibson @UniOfHull @kate_womack_ @SMCHull They were absolutely fantastic, ambassadors of both their university and their discipline that everyone should be proud of! #WomenInSTEM

STEM week was certainly finishing with a bang in one classroom, Miss Pawson causing a scene with a hydrogen balloon explosion!

Amazing work guys! A message we should all be following. https://t.co/KRu5KkBhyb

Our STEM Club have been working hard on creating a usable product out of recyclable waste. Today, they wanted to spread an important message to our whole school and community, 'RECYCLE YOUR WASTE!' ♻️🌍👍 #ZeroWaste #SDG14 #jointproject #freetown #connectingclassrooms

This week would not have been anywhere near as successful without these amazing young people. #AmbassadorsAssemble

Over 300 girls having the opportunity to gain an insight into STEM industries at our Women in STEM event, meeting female engineers, technicians and business leaders. Our final event of a very busy week.

Very fortunate to have @profbradgibson speaking to our 6th Formers (and super keen year 11's & 10's) about the huge opportunities available through studying STEm subjects #day3ofSTEMWeek

Some of our incredible year 7-designed Mars Bases for the STEM Week competition. @NASA @esa @NASAJPL get these youngsters signed up!

Thank you all so much for attending our Careers Fair, the students were able to get so much out of it!

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

STEM Week continues to be full of excitement, even if the explosions aren’t quite as big as we were hoping for... #needafullpackofmentos

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

All in all, a fabulous first day of SMC Stem Week 2018! Tomorrow sees the second day of primary school workshops and the Careers Fair for Year 10 & Sixth Form. #letsdothis

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

Not since the dawn of Pokemon Cards have students been as obsessed with anything at a lunchtime as year 7 were with slime today...

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

Coding the microbit to read out “Put me down!” When shaken. So cool!!

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

The year 7 students (as pictured) may have been marginally quicker than some staff who attempted the steps challenges. *cough* @SM6Hull *cough*

A shocking display from Mr. Peach at today’s STEM Fair. #pardonthepun

Of all the skills developed in organising STEM week, t-shirt printing was the least expected... starting to get very excited though!

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

In preparation for our Women in STEM event next week, make sure you watch Mercury 13 on Netflix about the female astronaut testing programme in the 60’s. The challenges faced then illustrate the overwhelming importance of opening STEM up to all now.

Big Question of the day from the Year 12 Physicists: Does a cable car across a gap count as a bridge? Major controversy kicking off!

[SMC STEM @SMCSTEM]

Super cool demonstration of density at Science Club today from Mrs. Vinall. Year 7's and 8's (and Mr. Peach) very impressed!
