S1 students at Wester Hailes Education Centre will get the opportunity to experience innovative, exciting science, technology, engineering, mathematics and business workshops next session. Staff have worked closely with Heriot Watt University to develop an outreach programme for our students where they will have the chance to learn new skills and gain confidence in these subjects as well as finding out about student life at Heriot Watt’s Edinburgh campus. Working with a team of University staff and students over the coming months we hope our students will also develop skills that will equip them for life after leaving school such as team working, communication and organisational skills and will be great experience for anyone thinking of going on to higher education and a future career in these fields.
