Energising Minds: STEM Workshop

Thursday morning, Year 5 enjoyed an exciting online STEM engineering workshop all about energy and how it is created. They learned about different energy sources and were especially interested in a guest talk from a Sizewell engineer, who explained how nuclear reactors work, how turbines generate electricity, and her day-to-day role maintaining the site. The session also introduced the idea of fusion as a future energy source, inspiring pupils to think about how engineers can create more sustainable ways to power our world.
