Forest Futures STEM Conference
Despite the inclement weather, 16-18 year old pupils from Forest School and surrounding 6th forms joined us for the inaugural Forest Futures STEM conference.
With experts from the fields of Manufacturing & Sustainability through to CGI, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology and Data Science, the pupils had a chance to see how wide-ranging STEM professions are, and got plenty of top tips on how to follow a career in STEM.
