Davina Bell
Skills and Outreach Specialist for Sizewell C Nuclear Development
“We were so happy with the delivery and design of the Sizewell C STEMworks programs, the teaching staff were engaging and totally understood the aims of the project. Schools were delighted with the outcomes for young people. The content was all linked to the national curriculum it was incredible to see what progress young people made in such a short space of time. My favourite part was seeing the grand finale where young people consolidated their skills and were able to articulate their learning. A professional and inspiring service which I could not recommend highly enough”
