Maths twilight - networking for Derbyshire teachers and STEM Ambassadors
On Monday evening, teachers and STEM Ambassadors met for a maths twilight event - a great networking opportunity for maths brains from throughout Derbyshire.
Derbyshire has a group of students who are going to represent the UK at the Space Olympics in Russia in September 2012. As part of this they have to do some stretching maths exercises and the event looked at the best methods of supporting students and teachers.
Experience at a careers event
On 22nd February 2012 I travelled to Dorcan Academy in Swindon to take part in their progression day. This was aimed at year 9 pupils who were about to take their subject choices for GCSEs. Groups of year 9 pupils participated in various activities linked to careers and post 16 life. There were workshops and talk to pupils about careers.
I was one of four speakers within the DT (Design & technology) group who had volunteered to speak to the pupils about our jobs in engineer and how we got to where we are now.
