Description
Summary:A group of STEM Ambassadors visit Bradfield School in Sheffield to share their personal experiences with Year 9 girls who have been targeted because girls are under-represented in STEM-related careers. As a lesson starter the pupils take part in an exercise aimed at combating some of the stereotypical images of STEM-related careers. The Ambassadors then take questions from the pupils about what sort of careers are available to pupils who take up STEM subjects. Meanwhile another group of learners are followed taking part in a work placement run by the Connaught Partnership. The film examines the processes and procedures needed to ensure a successful work placement. Apprentices at an aerospace manufacturer in Bolton talk of the benefits of experience in the workplace and a learner in Sheffield talks about the value of her work placement at a firm of architects.
