Some of our Y10 and Y12 students presented posters of their research at the IRIS conference yesterday. They did an excellent job and we're really proud of what they have achieved!
We are already looking forward to next years projects and conference! #STEM @ForgeValley
What an amazing day at our Manchester conference ! 🎉
Our students showcased their fantastic work over the last year and proved what young people can achieve when given the chance.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made the day unforgettable! 🚀✨

Messy club today as Y7s and 8s investigated slime, changing variables such as %borax, and water to glue ratios. Some variables made slime more elastic, some more brittle or sticky @ForgeValley #STEM #STEMclub #slime

Today's STEM club was all about creating pressure mat sensors to defend against potential Zombie attacks!
We loved the idea of camouflaging it as a door mat!

First time we've posted in a while, but great to see STEM club engaging with the making of wind/water turbines! They got very competitive to see who could record the biggest potential difference! #stemclub #forgevalleystem #forgevalleysci

Congratulations to the winning team of the Sturdier Skyscraper challenge!
This skyscraper not only lasted the longest on the shaking table, but was also the skyscraper to hold the most masses!

Calling @ForgeValley Y7s and Y8's! Reckon you could build a stable skyscraper that could withstand an earthquake? Come and give it a try after school at STEM club on Thursday in room 111! Good Luck! #STEMclub #stem #forgevalleysci

The James Webb Telescope launched at Christmas! It will observe stars much further than we can currently see and answer questions about how the universe formed! It will take a month to fully deploy, find out what it is doing here 🙂🚀 jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLa…
Our telescope is blooming like a flower in space! This marks the start of a major phase to #UnfoldTheUniverse: our sunshield deployment. First, what is our sunshield?
5️⃣ layers
🎾 Opens to the size of a tennis court
🛡️ Protects Webb’s optics from the Sun
