Year 6 pupils at Gillespie Primary School wrote applications to be science committee members. They were interviewed by previous Year 5 members.

In their weekly meeting before school, the Science Committee learnt about Ada Lovelace and her contribution to computing programming. They also learnt about how electronic engineers design wearable technology.

On the 13th October, they celebrated Ada Lovelace Day by sewing gloves and coding micro:bits to make musical gesture gloves in the afternoon.

They learnt how to hack a pair of headphones.

After learning about Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock' life during Black History Month, the science committee led an online assembly to inform the rest of the school about how she came to be so successful despite the barriers she had to overcome.

The science committee chose and trialled activities for Y1 and 2 to do during science week. They made instructional videos which included demonstrations and scientific explanations. Reception class enjoyed doing them too. An accompanying slideshow referenced science-related careers.
