STEM Project

On Wednesday 4th December, our Year 8 students enthusiastically participated in a STEM project organised by Heathrow World of Work. The task required them to work in teams of five to use block coding to program a BBC microbit, which was embedded inside a small vehicle to move autonomously across a floor mat. This hands-on challenge was not only engaging but also closely linked to the curriculum, offering students a practical introduction to coding and robotics. It was designed to inspire the next generation to explore potential careers at the airport, showcasing how STEM skills are used in real-world applications. The activity proved to be an exciting opportunity for the students to enhance their teamwork, problem-solving, and technical abilities.
