We are committed to creating awareness and inspiring young minds to delve into the fascinating world of STEM and space. Last week, we had an exciting series of events that took our mission one step further. Our focus was not only on igniting interest in science and technology but also on breaking barriers in gender and inequality, while helping organisations achieve their EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.
Empowering Students in West Yorkshire with STEM Education
Access to space-related companies for schools in West Yorkshire has always been challenging due to the limited number of businesses in the space sector that have the capacity to engage directly with educational institutions. However, we aim to bridge this gap by bringing interactive and educational activities directly to the students.
One of the highlights of our week was the water rocket workshop. This activity is more than just a fun experiment; it’s an educational tool that reinforces and introduces students to fundamental principles of physics. While many students have heard of Newton, few are familiar with his laws of motion. Our workshop delves into these concepts, particularly illustrating Newton’s third law of motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The water rocket activity was a hit among the students. It provided a hands-on experience that vividly demonstrated the principles of physics in action. By launching water rockets, students could see firsthand how thrust is generated and how Newton’s third law applies in real-world scenarios. This practical approach not only makes learning more engaging but also solidifies their understanding of scientific concepts.
Our team guided the students through the process, explaining the science behind the rockets and encouraging them to ask questions and think critically. This interactive learning experience is crucial in sparking interest and nurturing a passion for STEM subjects.
