Year 8 and 9 pupils attended an interactive and fun STEM day with The SmallPeice Trust, providing them with valuable insight into the world of engineering.
The Smallpeice Trust is an educational charity that gives young people the support they need to bring their big ideas to life through science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
The project fused practical STEM learning with business & enterprise, tasking our pupils with designing and constructing a speaker that can amplify sound produced by a mobile phone or MP3 player.
In teams, the girls soldered the components onto an amplifier circuit board, designed a cabinet to house the components of the speaker and put together a marketing plan to promote their product; allowing them to be as creative as they like whilst considering their target audience for the resell of the product.
