Usmaa, from the Royal Society, delivered three engaging science shows for our Year 7, 8 and 9 students, bringing science to life through a series of fascinating and interactive demonstrations. The sessions focused on alternative fuels, encouraging students to explore how different energy sources could help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a more sustainable future. The science didn't stop at the end of the school day, as members of the local community were also invited to enjoy an exciting rocketry-themed show. It was a fantastic opportunity for students and the wider community to experience the excitement of science, discover new ideas and learn more about the possibilities of future energy solutions.
