We've got microbiologists in the making!
To round off British Science Week Year 8 have been diving into the world of #metagenomics
They've been inputting DNA sequences from patient samples into the NCBI nucleotide database to identify diseases like cholera, malaria & the Zika virus before deciding on the most effective treatment plans!!
Wow! We'll certainly be in safe hands with this generation of scientists!#BritishScienceWeek #FutureScientists #curiosity #STEM @allaboutfutures
Big thanks to James PritchardWood & Nigel Jones for delivering brilliant, thoughtprovoking workshops to our Year 12s this morning as part of their WPD programme. Students explored:>Stereotypes in the workplace>The difference between soft & hard skills>How HR teams recruit & select applicants>Key links to Employment Law & the Equality Act 2010
It was an eyeopening & empowering session that got students thinking about fairness, diversity & what employers are really looking for.
Huge thanks to @thepledgecw & @bankofamerica for supporting these valuable sessions. #careers #CEIAG #definingfutures #NoOutsiders #equality
