Baking in Space – Bake to the Future

Year 7 students were invited to take part in an exciting free online event. This was part of Science week from 8th – 15th November 2020.

‘Baking In Space – Bake to the Future’ explored our planet in lockdown and how we have learned to adapt and the parallels between living in space and living during COVID-19.

Andrew Smyth, aerospace engineer and Great British Bake-Off finalist, and Dr Niamh Shaw, scientist, performer and space explorer, presented four virtual shows.  These took us on a journey from Earth to the Moon and back, with demos and bakes – all from your kitchen!

It was encouraging to see so many of our students get involved.

To coincide with this, we also invited the students to bake their own cell cake to demonstrate their knowledge of the topic of the cells that they are doing at the moment. Here are just some of the amazing uploads. The only downside being that we didn’t get to taste them in school this year.
