Waldegrave School Christmas Magazine 2023

Two of our Year 7 classes had the opportunity to participate in a tester Sustainability workshop hosted by Mike Hardisty, a STEM ambassador who works in sustainability. Throughout the workshop students learned about the use of fossil fuels, atmospheric methane and CO2 levels, electricity in vehicles and how people can tackle climate change. Students then took part in a team quiz, applying old and new knowledge to guess facts, come up with ideas and win an exciting prize! STEM ambassadors aim to inspire girls in school to take up STEM subjects, and introduce the incredible academic and career opportunities. Overall, our students found this fun, educational and a great way to learn about climate change, as well as potential career interests!

“The workshop was both educational and fun. I really enjoyed the quiz which was really fun. I'm very glad we did it and I learnt a lot!”

“I enjoyed everything we learned but I especially liked it when we learnt about ways to reduce emissions. I also liked the questions.”
