We had a brilliant Thinking About… Engineering Research webinar on Tuesday, with no less than six schools represented by the extremely capable hosts. A big thank you has to go to Amjad from Dulwich College who arranged the speaker, Dr Adele Nasti (who joined from Germany), and guided us through a conversation about her work. Alexandra, Bo and Zachie each then asked her a question before Gabriel and Laura hosted the Q&A session.
CONNECTING SCHOOLS
Our Anti-Racism Project has continued this term with students collaborating to make short films that will be used to start conversations with Year 8 classes. We have four clusters of schools that are meeting weekly, so you might spot the filming as it takes place between now and the end of term. We are looking forward to sharing them with you next term.
This project has been funded by a partnership grant from the Department for Education.
