SIS-STEM

Posted by Martin Wynn

Welcome to SIS-STEM, a challenge helping to explore STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) in a fun way. It introduces some basic principles within playful activities that may help members see the STEM subjects in a different light, or at least help them learn a few clever tricks.
It has been designed to fit in with the programme in that some of the activities may link up with Skills Builders, unit meeting activities and even interest badges which may spur the girls to further their interests.

Christmas Visit

Posted by Martin Wynn

It was a very wet night but our visit to see Santa included a boat ride, making a s’more, crossing the wishing bridge to the elves workshop to give them a hand making a cuddly Rudolph or two, writing a letter to Santa, visiting his naughty elf Bingo and finally a visit to the big man himself.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening, despite being soaked through!
