Pre-Prep & Prep pupils enjoyed an action-packed STEM Day on Thursday 6 November, filled with creativity, teamwork, and innovation. In the Prep the various sessions were led by Jeremy King, an experienced engineer, who guided boys through a series of exciting, hands-on workshops. Year 3 designed and tested their own Stomp vehicles, Year 4 built working burglar alarms, while Years 5 and 6 took on advanced challenges that included programming buggies, controlling motorised fairground rides, and managing sets of traffic lights using coding and electronics. The day culminated in a fascinating whole-school assembly delivered by Mr Fuldner, Physics teacher at Hampton School and joint Head of First Year, who improved our depths of understanding about space, including a live rocket demonstration in the James Hall! STEM Day proved to be a wonderful celebration of curiosity, experimentation, and problem-solving, which of course are all skills that lie at the heart of science and engineering. Very many thanks to the wonderful HPPPA for their continued support in making this inspiring event possible!
