Twenty-four teams of Science students from schools across the North West travelled to The Grange School in Hartford to compete in the recent STEM Olympics competition.
The contest challenges students to test their skills and knowledge in the STEM subjects; Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths; in a fun and engaging way. The event - which will become an annual part of the school’s calendar, included a rat dissection, a crime scene investigation, rocket launching, coding and a fun-filled maths quiz.
The level of competition was incredibly high and the final scoring was very close with a different school winning each of the day’s events. Rydal Penrhos from Colwyn Bay just beat Stockport Grammar School to take the overall first place. Prizes for the schools who won in the events were presented by Head of The Grange School, Dr Lorraine Earps.
Head of Physics, Mr Grisedale said: “The concept around the event is that it is primarily a fun day, but also that there is an element of challenge and competition. All of the students taking part worked really hard on the day and it was a pleasure to see the them learning new skills and working together to rise to the challenges we set for them.
“We would like to thank each of the schools for joining us and taking part in with such enthusiasm and good humour”
