As we say in Glasgow, tomorrow is going to be a' go! S5 and S6 pupils from across West Central Scotland are coming to University of Strathclyde Strathclyde Institute of Education for a week to study with us on our Education Accelerate Challenge. Also, tomorrow is the Institute of Education's Summer Graduation.

If you have sent S5 or S6 pupils into our Accelerate Education Challenge this week, you should feel very proud. Two lectures and a campus tour this morning. By lunchtime, they could give advice about what makes good reflective writing. #Bravo Young Strathclyder We are Strathclyde Institute of Education!

As we move into Week 2 of Accelerate, we reflect on the success of our first Politics Challenge. The pupils had a fantastic week, meeting some influential figures from the world of politics and working hard to create a final group presentation with the help of our student mentors

We say goodbye to another year of Accelerate Business Challenge, and what a week it has been! The student mentors guided pupils through a task to create a new product for AG Barr. Each group used creativity and teamwork to design and deliver their product to a panel of experts!🥤

Accelerate Chemistry pupils enjoyed a week of learning new things in a completely new environment, a real chemistry lab! 🧪 Our student mentors worked hard to inspire our next generation of chemistry students at Strathclyde!

Thank you to all our Glasgow primary schools who have engaged with our Young Strathclyder programme this year. Enjoy the summer break and we will see you all again in the new term 💙

A huge well done and thank you to our Junior Mentors across the two weeks of Accelerate. You have all worked super hard and we have loved watching your confidence and skills grow! 👏 Perhaps we might see some of you return as junior mentors next year on Accelerate 2025...
