Last week’s marble run winner in action!

Ending our half term of ‘classic challenges’ at #STEM club, the spaghetti and marshmallows had to make an appearance! For some, the biggest challenge wasy not eating all the building materials… 🤦‍♀️

This week in STEM club we were interviewing an astrophysicist and an aerospace engineer! 🤩 🔭👩‍🚀 Very proud of our learners and their questions on string theory, antimatter and of course, pizza flavours in space! Thanks I'm a Scientist Team for another great session! #spacescientists

Sooo competitive!

14 of our year 11,12 and 13 learners visited University of Wales Trinity Saint David today to get a taster of Product Design at university, see what’s on offer and do some hands-on learning and problem solving in the facilities. Aspirational! Thanks UWTSD we had an amazing time, especially the lemon juggling!😂

This week in STEM club we were talking to 5 real forensic scientists! From scanning electron microscopes to prison drug testing and Egyptian mummies, being on TV programs and dealing with ethics, it sounds like forensic scientists have fascinating jobs!Thanks I'm a Scientist Team #STEM

🏆 Congratulations to CCYD STEM for being our #TeacherTweetOfTheMonth! 🏆 You win an 🌟 I'm a Scientist mug 🌟! We hope you'll be the envy of the staffroom.

Our Year 12 EESW team at Sony this week - they are working on solving a design brief for a problem in Sony - UK Technology Centre ‘s factory! (Current Year 11s, watch out for this in September if you want to get into engineering, computing or business!) CCYD EESW STEM Cymru #STEM #SONY

Happy International Women’s Day! To celebrate, let’s check out the work of engineer Hedy Lamarr, the mother of … Wi-Fi! And a Hollywood actress. Now that’s multi-tasking! CCYD girls- can’t wait to see what your future holds! #IWD23 CCYD womenshistory.org/education-reso…

Something CCYD_school and Engineering have in common… A belief that 💪 resilience 🧠 is so important! #KeepGoing #tryagain #persevere #youcandoit

CCYD’s engineering team have been presenting their product/solution today at the EESW presentation day in Swansea Arena. Da iawn for a fabulous presentation! (and also being noticed for being extra polite! CCYD) #engineering EESW STEM Cymru Sony - UK Technology Centre

Yesterday, some of our lovely year 8 learners visited Aston Martin and were given a tour and a talk by ex-student Bethan. They had an amazing time! Engineering is such a rewarding career path and Bethan affirmed this. Thanks Aston Martin 🏎️ CCYD CCYD STEM #engineering

Wow what a day!! As part of @RhwydwaithSeren we hosted 167 pupils from 8 schools in the Bridgend CB Council area along with Cardiff Uni Maths Cardiff Uni Physics Welsh School of Architecture CCYD Mrs Morrison - Deputy Headteacher BryntirionComp Porthcawl Comp
