International Women in Engineering Day
Some of our Y6 girls thoroughly enjoyed their time at Cummins Engineering Plant on Thursday 20th June, celebrating International Women In Engineering Day.
They listened to a couple of guest speakers, who spoke about their roles within Cummins and also explained about other job prospects there were within engineering.
There were two other workshops:
One was designing and building a vehicle with Lego to see how fast they could get it to travel down a ramp. It dawned on the girls that in order to speed up their vehicle, they needed to ensure there was more weight on it. Ruby-Jo was the winner with 3.30 seconds!
The other workshop was a tour around the factory, seeing some of things involved in making the huge engines.
