On Friday 27th June, the Science Council worked with the Lord Mayor’s office and the City of London to deliver a STEM careers event in the Guildhall for Year 9 students from schools in the City of London and neighbouring boroughs with the aim of developing careers awareness for their students.



From our point of view it was a very successful event. It showed the wide range of science and technology based careers available in the  City of London and the career options available.  The Lord Mayor is herself very committed to all this and to raising the aspirations of local students. She supported the event and spoke at the reception. Our IET London network put on a stand located right in the centre of the exhibition area where we received about 300 visitors including the Lord Mayor and her entourage. The children and the Lord Mayor greatly enjoyed building little torches and testing their reaction time.
