We are extremely excited to be organising STEM Fortnight in West Dunbartonshire between the 3rd and the 13th of October. We have been working with local employers to create a programme of activities for S3 pupils which are devised and hosted by the employers themselves. The aim of this is to provide pupils with the opportunity to learn more about the variety of career options that are available through STEM subjects and quiz senior management about the skills required to work in their industry. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the employers who have devised the following engaging workshops for the young people of West Dunbartonshire:

• SKapade: Sound Production Masterclass
• Polaroid: The Design and Manufacture of Sunglass Lenses
• West College Scotland: Games Development
• The Golden Jubilee National Hospital: Inserting a Cardiac Pacemaker
• West College Scotland: Lemon Power
• The Army: Rocket Car
• European Circuits Ltd: Printed Circuit Boards and Assembly
• West Dunbartonshire Council: Call of (Procurement) Duty
• Haven Products: Laser Etching

If you would like to keep up to date with these activities then check out our Twitter and Facebook (@DYWWEST) and our Developing the Young Workforce West LinkedIn Company page!
