Full STEM ahead!
Thirteen school teams have worked well beyond the boundaries of the classroom to complete the ‘STEM In The Pipeline’ project run annually by TechFest-SetPoint.
Over the last three months the 17 year olds have put their knowledge of physics, maths, chemistry & geology into practice and produced a field development plan to optimise the production of a realistic field whilst minimising CO2 emissions. Along the way they have been supported by teams of young professionals from BP, Chevron and ConocoPhillips. The students will be gathering at BP on Friday December 5th to present their results to a panel of senior industry professionals.
The event is also supported by the Energy Institute who will invite the winning team to present their project to members at their monthly meeting.
The 13 teams taking part are:
- The Mavericks from Aberdeen Grammar School
- Blue Oak from Banchory Academy
- Banffshire's Best from Banff Academy
- Fraserburgh Oil Elite from Fraserburgh Academy
- W.T.F? (Where's The Fuel?) from The Gordon Schools
- INVERCO from Inverurie Academy
- AKRAH Oil from Mackie Academy
- Pascal's Petroleum from Peterhead Academy
- Oilmachar from Oldmachar Academy
- That's Classified! from Portlethen Academy
