Port Glasgow’s St. Michael’s Primary School recently celebrated their love for science, engineering, and technology alongside their parents. The primary five class has been participating in workshops with Glasgow based DXC Technology to learn important ‘meta’ skills that will benefit them in the future.
The students then invited their parents to learn more about the exciting program they have been involved in. Head teacher Colette Wallace expressed how fantastic the project has been for the primary five students. The celebration of learning showcased what they have achieved and how much fun they have had. Working with DXC on meta skills and preparing the students for the future has left a positive impression on both the students and their parents.
During the celebration, the students delivered a presentation to explain what they had learned during the project. Following the presentation, parents were invited to visit different workstations that highlighted the skills their children had acquired. There were opportunities for parents to engage in activities such as board games, coding, and engineering workshops.
Holly Stanton and her friend Elody Rodgers shared their enjoyment of participating in the project, particularly in creating their own games on the computer. Michelle Muirhead from DXC Technology played a key role in leading the project and organizing the workshops, emphasizing the importance of exposing children to STEM opportunities and helping them develop essential meta skills. Inverclyde’s focus on delivering a STEM program aligns with this project perfectly, with digital academies being held in
