At the start of this academic year, enthusiastic Year 13 student Alex agreed with our Head of Careers to set up an Engineering Society within school - to education and encourage AKS students in the world of engineering.
This leadership opportunity has allowed Alex to research into the world of engineering, create a plan for the society and a logo, source speakers and run events. This mirrors the process which has been undertaken by our Medical Society. In September, Ben Halford from British Aerospace spoke to our students at the first event.
The Engineering Society is now delighted to announce it's second event having arranged for 3 engineers from United Utilities to come into school, talk about their careers, and set the students an 'interactive challenge', which is focused around the problems that United Utilities encounter.
The presentation and workshop is open to all AKS students:
Monday 20th November - 4pm-5pm - OAKS Hall - "Human Needs"
The Engineers that are visiting are as follows:
Francesca McKendrick - Process Engineer
Jonny Douglas - Civil Engineer
Liz Smith - Geotechnical Engineer
We hope to see as many students as possible at the event.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the ways that a big company, such as United Utilities, goes about solving problems. As well as this, we will hear first hand from 3 experts in their fields, who can provide a fantastic insight into the engineering industry. All students are invited to attend the event.
Please email engineering@akslytham.com if you have any further questions.
If you would like your son or daughter to see all the opportunities that our Sixth Form offers please do come along to our Open Event and see for yourself all that AKS has to offer:
