The visit was an inspiring experience, led by amazing industry professionals. Katie shared her passion for women in STEM, leaving our students with a newfound confidence that they belong in these fields. Craig introduced our students to the fascinating world of hydrogen power, with virtual reality sessions proving to be a trip highlight!

Our students also had the chance to work alongside Mike to disassemble and reassemble a hydrogen pipeline in the H2 Centre—a hands-on experience that showcased teamwork, problem-solving, and engineering skills in action.

A HUGE shout-out to Ms. Boon for leading this fantastic visit and inspiring our students to explore careers in STEM!

A massive thank you to Katie, Craig, Mike, and the Riverside team for organizing such an eye-opening and engaging event. It’s amazing to see such world-class STEM opportunities right here in Widnes!

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,” reminds us of the importance of supporting and uplifting women in STEM and beyond.
