On Thursday 26th April, children in P5, P6 and P7 were invited to attend an event at the Braid Centre, Ballymena.  This was part of a celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths for young people in the UK.  The aim of the event was to show students just how exciting science and engineering can be.

The event included a 'High Flyers' workshop which was taken by an engineer called Peter.  The children made their own aeroplane and Peter explained to the children about air pressure and how this helps to create ' lift off'.  There was also a 'Power Up' show which focused on the Science of computer games, ultra violet light, infra red light, electricity and gravity.  The children had a great morning and they also got to meet the Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, Paul Reid.
