This is Me  - I'm a STEM Ambassador  

Can you spare 30 minutes to join  See Science on 25th January  between 3.45pm and 4.15pm . An opportunity to explain to teachers who have not previously engaged with the program about the range of amazing work that is carried out by our volunteers
Who are the STEM Ambassadors? How can we access them in school? How can I really easily see how they can fit into the curriculum? How can they link to careers and the Gatsby Benchmarks?

As a STEM Ambassador Hub, all the time teachers ask us, who are the STEM Ambassadors? What types of people do you have? How can we use them easily?

This short session will show you how! Come online with the team from See Science for a short session on how to utilise our STEM ambassador offers of short, 3 minute presentations and how they can contribute to the new Curriculum for Wales. To book a place go here 

^{Energy Quest Workshops}

All state funded schools in the UK are eligible to receive at least 1 Energy Quest workshop and eligible schools can receive as many as 8! Funded by Shell, over the last six years EngineeringUK has developed Energy Quest into a well-received programme, reaching 215,000 young people through 3,150 sessions in 1,460 UK schools

Energy Quest is a free two-hour workshop aimed at KS3 pupils. Through an exciting narrative, students are challenged to save the day by utilising their practical engineering skills and find a solution to help a group of young people in danger. During the challenge, students encounter a range of engineers as they uncover the skills engineers possess and the way energy plays an important role in all our lives.

See Science will be delivering the workshops throughout this coming year. We are keen for STEM Ambassadors to support the delivery of the workshops

Usk CiW Primary are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are willing to support the staff and children in Y5/6 to build and race the Greenpower Goblin G2 Kit Car. We were originally meant to do this project in 2019 but Covid-19 put pay to that so after Christmas we are finally launching this project with our learners. If you got in touch with us previously to offer help and are still willing, please do get in touch again. We are looking for as much support as possible to enhance this project, motivate our learners and show them what potential careers await them. We really want to raise the profile of STEM and this would be the perfect way to do it. Perhaps you have a background in Engineering or vehicles? Maybe you've supported another school with the same project? Please get in touch. Kind regards, Alice

On behalf of the School, I would like to invite you to Monmouth Comprehensive School’s Careers and Higher Education Fair on Wednesday 8 th February 2023. The event will take place between 6pm and 8pm. The Careers and Higher Education Fair is the centrepiece of our Careers and Pathways Programme and is an eagerly anticipated occasion in the school calendar. It is open to Years 9-13 (ages 14-19) and the event benefits students, and parents alike, in many different ways such as subject choices at Year 9 for GCSE and Year 11 for post-16 choices. It is also a fantastic opportunity for students considering applications for University or career choices and for those looking to research and organise work experience placements. Our students are very grateful for the knowledge and expertise they are able to access throughout the course of the event. Students return to school with renewed enthusiasm, a wealth of information and, in some cases, a clear sense of direction for their career/education pathway. In addition, the calibre of the event has received county recognition, as the feedback has demonstrated the professional and inspirational quality of the occasion. We are fortunate to be supported year after year by multi-national companies, local organisations and members of the community. We would like to emphasise that this event is not a recruitment fair but an event to access information and advice from professional sources. The format for the event is as follows: Date: Wednesday, 8 th February 2023 Venue: Monmouth Comprehensive School Time: 6–8pm.
