‘This is the best day of my life!’ Student, Graham School
‘We have made contact made with NHS following the event; the NHS are now coming into school to enhance our teaching for the Child Development qualification that we run.’
‘It has generated a lot of discussion for our pupils. It is a big challenge for some of vulnerable learners to attend an event like this, and they feedback from them about how proud they are to have been able to manage it has been great.’
‘Excellent range of activities for pupils to take part in, Super effort by stand staff to engage and discuss with pupils.’
‘Really great range of interactive activities this year!’
‘Thank you for hosting such an incredible event!! It really is something which we value and because all pupils can access it (because of free cost), it means the STEM capital for all pupils is achieved. Massive thank you!’
‘Scarborough Engineering event is exciting and interactive, it’s a great opportunity for young people to get involved with hands on activities helping to inspire and ignite their interest in STEM careers.’
‘This event really will improve pupils’ love for STEM related careers. The professionals had incredible hands-on activities to really engage and promote thinking while we were there. Every year this event seems to get bigger and better – we’re REALLY looking forward to next year’s event already. Thank you!’
‘I’d unreservedly recommend this event for all pupils. It was fabulously organised, and we felt that the team putting this together had thought about what our SEND learners would need to get the most out of it. Thank you.’
‘Just wanted to express my thanks to you and your team today! It was incredible. The children (and staff!) at Braeburn came away buzzing, they were in complete awe and loved everything about the event. Everything was well organised and mapped out and timed perfectly. WE LOVED IT. I am truly grateful we got to attend such a wonderful event and know for certain we will be back next year! We just wish it was on for longer and over more days!!!’ Teacher, Braeburn Primary School
‘I just wanted to let you know how much our students enjoyed the event today. I felt it was thoroughly planned and the exhibitors had the best stands and activities I’ve ever seen at the SSEW (and I’ve been a fair few times now!) I can only imagine what a massive undertaking the planning and running of it all is, but I felt it was a really valuable experience for our students. Teacher, Filey School.
Scalby School
The students thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different aspects and careers for engineering with either taking part or interacting with staff from the various companies, colleges and universities involved. This was an excellent opportunity for students to discover different career paths available to them and the vast diversity that is encompassed by engineering.
St Augustine’s
It was fun and at the same time we were learning.
It was very interesting and it gave me an insight into careers in engineering.
It totally broadened my horizons
I had a really good time and it was informative.
I stood next to the fastest car in the world and it was amazing!
Fylinghall School
I used to like science….but now I love it!
It was fun and we got to see lots of clever inventions and use some of the machines.
My favourite part was when we saw the prototype of the fastest car in the world. When it is built it will be incredible.
My favourite part was when we fired the racing cars (F1 in Schools) and I was the fastest.
It was amazing. The bit I enjoyed the most was when I did the welding. There was a computer an a screen and you wore a mask. I made the Union Jack and the course leader said that I was the best welder all week so that made my day good.
