We kicked off Science Week with a STEM Fair on Monday morning. A range of visitors came to talk about their jobs in STEM: 2Excel Engineering talked about aircraft maintenance; healthcare specialists shared their expertise on subjects like podiatry, food science and general health. There were also Science lectures from HSDC Alton carrying out various experiments and talking to students about their specialisms and an archaeology display and a talk from archaeologist James.
