This week, our team delivered STEM boxes to all primary schools in Inverclyde as part of Inverclyde STEM Festival, kindly supplied by Thermo Fisher!

These boxes were packed with fun, hands-on STEM activities to inspire young learners.

A big thank you to Sheena at Thermo Fisher for arranging this fantastic resource once again!

Well done to the DYW School Co-ordinators from Inverclyde Council who organised a successful DYW Breakfast held in the Ambitions training restaurant of West College Scotland on the 15th September.

Previous relationships were rejuvenated and lots of new introductions were made over a coffee & pastry with magnificent views over the Clyde.

Thanks to all the employers who supported the event!
