Did you know that astronauts must exercise for two hours a day to prevent muscle atrophy due to the absence of gravity?

In the STEM lecture, a man called Jonathan Keep, who is a mechanical engineer, leads an especially important project for the energy industry. He talked to us about how the government are working on a project called STEP.

On Tuesday, 28th March, we were delighted to welcome Mo Bobat to Northampton Academy.

We were delighted to welcome Victoria Gentry, Joanna Canton-Long and Sam Barber to school to give a presentation to our Year 12 Nucleus VI Engineering students.
 

The day started with Year 8 STEM waiting in the school cafeteria, where Mrs Staff divided the large group into two, so we could separate ourselves for the minibus. When we sat down on the minibus, we smoothly made our way up to Silverstone - the trip took 30 minutes. We stayed in our groups and experienced two different activities when we arrived.
