06.01.2022 STEMies is an afternoon club where students can practice their skills as as makers, inventors, and creators. It provides a safe place for girls to give ideas a go and to learn that its ok that things dont work the first time. By iterating and making changes to improve designs, the girls develop a growth mindset, encouraging perseverance. During home-based learning in Term 2, students borrowed DC motors, battery packs, wire and switches to design from school to make a ri...de which could be included in an amusement park. Once school returned the rides were brought in and the girls started to put the park together, including making additional facilities like food stalls, toilets, entrances and exits, people, picnic tables, trees, decorations. You can check out the very impressive amusement parks here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZD6Nsne8T8&feature=youtu.be See more

She is passionate about women in sport and enjoys mentoring the next generation of female athletes. We are very grateful to have her involved at St Aidan’s!
