This Teachers TV video shows two secondary schools in Blackburn as they explore STEM careers by encouraging their students to take a hands-on approach to learning.

Witton Park High School takes a workshop for Year Eight girls which aims to make students aware of gender stereotypes and encourage girls into engineering. The girls are asked to consider traditional jobs along with high paid STEM related jobs. In the workshop, the girls are joined by three female mechanical engineering apprentices who support the hands on session and act as positive role models.

At Pleckgate High School, where teachers are trying to engage all students with STEM, an interactive mobile laboratory staffed by practising scientists and engineers visits the school. Small groups of students take part in the experiments, which are designed to be accessible to all learners and introduce them to new aspects of STEM.
