Recently a group of our Year 8 pupils took part in a chemical engineering-based workshop delivered by RTC North. The exciting event aimed to raise awareness of the diverse and vital careers within the chemical engineering industry.

Throughout the day, pupils jumped into a variety of hands-on activities, including a simulated metal and mineral extraction challenge where they had to adhere to the strict, real-life regulations that surround modern mining. The day culminated in impressive group presentations, with students pitching innovative ways that chemical engineering can solve real-world problems across the globe. Our pupils were absolutely brilliant; the organisers even went out of their way to comment on how well they participated and approached each complex task. Well done, everyone!
