A fantastic afternoon in our cutting-edge Alvarium #Makerspace yesterday, learning how to use 3D Printers and Laser Cutters. We even got to create a phone stand 📱🖨💡🧩 #InspiringSpaces #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits #IgnitingIntellectualCuriosity @NorthwoodGDST @GDST @NWC_STEM

After two years of no graduation ceremonies, I'm proud to have finally attended one for my most recent MA degrees in #STEMEd at King's @crestem_kcl. Can't wait to share my knowledge with aspiring future female STEM professionals @NWC_STEM including my daughter! #ForeverKings.

We have learnt so much about mini beasts this week from exploring in forest school and visiting our amazing Secondary Science department. Just another benefit of being part of the @NWC_Family Thank you @NWC_STEM

We became super scientists this afternoon and learnt about chemical reactions. We loved watching mentos mix with Coca-Cola and couldn’t believe the reaction! #EYFS #STEM #scientists @NWC_STEM

Had the absolute pleasure of touring the @NorthwoodGDST yr 5 & 6 around the @NWC_STEM building site. Plenty of ‘ooohs’, ‘ahhhhs’, questions and a fair bit of graffiti #science #stem @GDST – at Hillingdon, London

We investigated floating and sinking by making our own boats. We soon discovered cardboard does not float for very long! @NorthwoodGDST @NWC_STEM

A great visit from Jess @ZooLabUK who brought some of her pets to school and taught us about different minibeasts and reptiles. We got to see, and hold, a giant millipede, a snail, a coakroach and a snake @NorthwoodGDST @NWC_STEM
