Celebrating STEM
Annual science events – World Space Week, National Stem Day, Maths Week, British Science Week and International Women in Science Day – provide the perfect backdrop for STEM to take the spotlight and allow pupils to discover and develop their talents and passions. Each year all 13 Griffin Schools celebrate STEM at the Griffin Science Symposium, one of GST’s proud traditions. All pupils look forward to a week packed with STEM activities and exploration. This year we were keen to ensure this important event went ahead – there were no limits for pupils and staff in our Virtual Festival of Science. Keynote speaker, Dr Anne Edwards, Plant Research Scientist at The John Innes Centre, Norwich, was joined by fellow plant scientists from around the world; they interacted virtually with our pupils delving into real-world issues, both current and future, through live-streamed workshop sessions.
The festival ignited excitement, awe and wonder, amongst the 1,000 Year 6 and Year 7 pupils from across all 13 schools, who were there for one purpose – to be young scientists. We encourage all our pupils to follow their dreams – their futures are limitless.
