Twenty Year 7 pupils have been attending the Science Big Bang Fair Club at Newminster.

The aim of this club is to encourage pupils to develop their scientific curiosity and to find solutions to problems in the same way as professional scientists do. Pupils have developed their own science projects and have each achieved a CREST Bronze Award.

On Tuesday 7 July the pupils presented their projects to judges at the North East’s regional Big Bang Fair at Northumbria University. Pupils also explored the fair’s industry stands and had the opportunity to explore careers in the STEM subjects.
