Celebrating Careers Week and British Science Week 2022 with Parkwood Academy Y7s

On Friday 11th March we were excited to be part of the National Careers Week activities at Parkwood Academy in Sheffield. Our visit also marked the start of British Science Week 2022.

Over 170 Y7s worked in teams to solve challenges with robotics, coding and making skills. They learned how their activities linked to some of the varied and exciting careers with engineering and STEAM subjects.

"Amazing day learning about robots and being an engineer. We have not done anything like this before at school and it was so much fun." Y7 student

"I want to have a fun job when I am older and learning about robots and building was really interesting. I really enjoyed making the tallest tower with my group." Y7 student

"It was so much fun! My favourite subject is IT and loved programming the robot." Y7 student
