Our flagship STEM West event will return on the 18th & 19th November 2024 at West College Scotland, Clydebank campus.

The aim of the event is to inspire young people to choose STEM subjects at school and have employers showcase their company/industry. Last year we had over 800 pupils attend from 4 of our local authorities, (West Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde) with over 50 exhibitors!

If you are an employer who is interested in showcasing your company and can bring along something interactive or hands on for S2-S4 pupils to engage with over the 2 days then please let us know. Even if you can only attend one of the days, it would be great to still have you come!

This month marked an exceptional conclusion to the first semester of the DXC Technology UKI Digital Futures Academy (DFA). The program celebrated the achievements of its dedicated pupils with a series of enriching activities and well-deserved recognitions.

Students had the opportunity to explore state-of-the-art facilities, participate in hands-on coding sessions, and receive certificates acknowledging their hard work and accomplishments. These experiences not only enhanced their technical skills but also provided valuable insights into the dynamic field of digital technology.

Well done to all involved for their outstanding efforts! 

Looking forward to an amazing year 2!

As we look forward to an amazing year two, we are excited about the future prospects and continued success of the DFA program!

We had another round of fantastic sessions with DXC Technology Digital Futures Academy!

In our first session, pupils explored their creativity in a design challenge, programming robotic cars & learning about the history of automation!

In our next session, they engaged in valuable lessons on building confidence and motivation.

We can't wait for the next one!

Four of our Digital Futures Academy participants, in collaboration with DXC Technology, had the incredible opportunity to serve as mascots for the Manchester United vs. Newcastle game at Old Trafford this month.

It was an unforgettable evening capped off by an exciting 3-2 victory for Man United.

Well done Alicia, Erin, Connor & Jackson!
