On Wednesday 4 March, students visited Thornton Science Park to attend a lecture given by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock MBE to celebrate International Women’s Day.
Dr Maggie was very inspirational and spoke about what inspired her to space science from an early age, as well as how she arrived in her current role. Dr Maggie described herself as a “self-certified lunatic” and was very funny and entertaining, inspiring pupils to aim high with their dreams and aspirations and showing that careers in science are within reach and varied. It was a brilliant day!
