The STEAM Exhibition allows participants to gain a deeper understanding of various scientific disciplines and their interconnectedness It serves as a forum for students to explore their interests and be inspired to pursue careers in STEAM fields. Woodford recently held their exhibition where the middle school students invited four other schools to come and visit the exhibition: Vura High School, Saint Nicholas Anglican College, Kukum SDA High School and Tamboko High School There were different types of experiments and researches done to give the best results The exhibition was led by the schools’ STEAM team – Mr Augustine, Ms Wendy and not forgetting Mr Alex’s unwavering support. Their experiments ranged from using Coke n’ Mentos to creating suspension bridges. The schools that visited were intrigued by how much the students had worked hard on their projects and asked a lot of questions regarding how they managed to come up with the experiments, how would it be able to help in the future and the challenges they faced The exhibition turned out to be a success and everyone managed to learn something new at the end of the event.
