On Monday 31st March I took ten Year 9 students to IBM Hursley as part of the MentorPlace Scheme.
The scheme allows the girls to be paired with an online mentor, who guides the student through some STEM-related tasks.
The day itself was split into three activities: Mapping/The Four Colour Theorem, Bridges and Presenting Networks. The girls had to work with students from two other schools and enjoyed the team building aspect.
Brianna and Ellen formed part of the overall winning team for the 'Presenting Networks' presentation but all girls enjoyed the experience.
