Ученики школы Dornoch Academy получили награду Young STEM Leader за наставничество

Eight S6 pupils from Dornoch Academy have achieved the Level 5 Young STEM Leader Award. Their work in mentoring and engagement earned them 3 credit points in STEM Leadership. They completed the Young Stem Leader Programme last term after passing the National 5 (N5) Laboratory Science course class they attended throughout the year. The Young Stem Leader Programme is a national initiative in Scotland designed to spark interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It is funded by the Scottish Government and led by the Scottish Schools Education Research Centre (SSERC). It enables young people in Scotland to inspire, lead and mentor their peers through the delivery of STEM activities, events or interactions within their learning communities. As they progressed through the programme, the Young STEM Leaders prepared and presented lessons to the P6 and P7 pupils in Dornoch Primary School. The lessons included using playdough to teach human anatomy, magical science tricks and chemical colour changes. The pupils also performed science demonstrations with coloured flames, a foaming “elephants toothpaste” experiment and spectacular fountains caused by reacting mentoes with fizzy cola.
