  • Celebrating Women in STEM for 2025

Celebrating Women in STEM for 2025

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we had the incredible opportunity to take 12 of our Year 9 and Year 10 girls to Riverside to celebrate National Hydrogen Week, aligning with International Women’s Day!

 

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.
