Sci-Tech very kindly visited CCHS today for Beyond The Beaker, an interactive incursion that prepares students for a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

Beyond The Beaker showcases how our work lives will change, explores how students can harness their STEM skills for maximum enjoyment, well-being and – perhaps most importantly – their career opportunities.

This interactive and informative experience is designed to inspire students to study STEM – both now and into their futures. It also shows how STEM is an important component of every job.

We’d like to thank SciTech for this highly engaging visit!

We're now on Instagram celebrating invitational education, student successes, cool work projects and interesting stories from around the school. Come along and follow us!
https://www.instagram.com/clarksonchs/ and the hashtag #clarksonchs

We want students to show pride in their work and their school, so if any students have something school-related they'd like us to share, please see Mr Keyworth, Ms Jeshani or Mr Bishop. Own it!

Teams of keen science students from Clarkson, Merriwa and Somerly Primary Schools were recently invited to Clarkson Community High School for the chance to compete in the “Clarkson Challenge”. In its ninth year, the Clarkson Challenge is an academic problem-solving program in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), where students are set problems to solve using scientific knowledge, technology skills and teamwork, all while following a design process.

We all know that the world is moving towards an energy crisis as fossil fuels begin to run out. Alternative fuels will need to be developed if we are to meet the transport needs of future generations whilst at the same time protecting the environment. Therefore, the idea behind this year’s Clarkson Challenge was to inspire our future scientists to solve this issue by producing an emissions-free solar powered car using sustainable materials and innovative techniques such as 3D printing.

In Year 11 Applied Information Technology, students learn about digital money in the form of crypto currencies.

Early in 2019, Thu Thay Paw invested an imaginary $1000 into several cryptos and tracked their progress over the year. Her portfolio of Bitcoin, Power Ledger and Dash earned Thu Thaw a crazy 43% profit and the prestigious Keyworth Cup for the top crypto investor of the year. Congratulations to Thu Thay!

Head of Applied Science John Keyworth presents the Clarkson Challenge Cup and Scitech tickets to the winning team at Somerly Primary School. Well done the Bolt Juniors for their amazing solar powered car!
