STEM Careers Carousel, Wednesday 7th March 2025
The annual Penwortham Girls’ High School STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Festival is scheduled to be held between Monday 24th February to Friday 7th March 2025. The aim of the festival is to raise awareness of STEM subjects and the fantastic opportunities that future careers related to STEM subjects offer. With girls and women being underrepresented within STEM subjects in further/higher education courses and related careers, we hope that by raising the profile of STEM, more of our girls will consider such learning/career pathways.
Meeting people currently working within STEM-related careers would help our students to see the opportunities that are available to them in careers that they may not have considered before. The STEM careers carousel will take the form of a careers fair and we are hoping to bring representatives working within Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to meet with our Year 10 and 11 students to provide information, relay their experiences and advice about following similar career paths.
We are looking to find more representatives who work within STEM-related industries who could kindly volunteer their time to share their experiences with our students on Friday 7th March 2025 between 10am and 3.30pm. If you are working within this industry or have any contacts within Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths related careers and you could volunteer to take part in the event, please contact Mr D. Knee at d.knee@penworthamgirls.lancs.sch.uk.
Thank you for your support.
Mr Knee
Teacher of Science
