✈️🚀 STEM Field Trip – Space Sector Experience! 🌌

On Tuesday 9th, 15 of our pupils took part in an exciting, all-day visit to the School of Engineering at Newcastle University – and what a fantastic experience it was!

Students rotated through four hands-on workshops, exploring:
🔹 Drone capture
🔹 Seestar telescope technology
🔹 Rocketry
🔹 Aerospace engineering

The day also featured an Airbus stall at lunchtime, giving pupils a real insight into careers across the space and aerospace sector.

This STEM-focused trip helped broaden students’ awareness of future pathways in fields such as aerospace engineering and space technology. 🌍✨
