We started off in the University court for our Business activity, lead by Jovana with Jodi and Robyn, on their first shifts. We moved rooms for Emma to lead HaSS with another of our new mentors, David, before we wrapped up with our STEM experiment led by Jessica, Arsal and Holly.

We had a fantastic visit from Cuthbertson Primary 6. So many questions and such inquisitive pupils, a joy to work with. A brilliant day for new 5 mentors, 2 returning top mentors working their first shift of the year and 3 experienced mentors keeping up their great work so far!

Fantastic day with @YStrathclyder . Everyone had great fun! 🤩

We had a very funday with P6 pupils from Annette St Primary this Wednesday. Some amazing book covers, like this super impressive dragon! Miky, Nandni and Ben were reunited with the school they loved working with last year. Paige, Reiss and Tana delivered HaSS & STEM in style!

Last Wednesday we had Dunard Primary 6 pupils visit us on the @UniStrathclyde campus. The pupils tested a science experiment, got creative with book covers and shouted some brand logos at our mentors. We had a great day with the pupils and as ever our mentor team did great work.

We launched the Young Strathclyder P7 programme 2025/26 at Chirnsyde Primary last week. Our mentors travelled in style in a stunning red and yellow taxi. Reiss took on the role as the first "computer" of the year, and along with Holly, Rachael and Paige we had an an amazing team.

Last Thursday we had a brilliant visit from St Benedict's Primary P6 pupils. The class came with so much energy, the loudest class we've had this year for screaming out logos and a lot of fun for us to work with!

Last Tuesday, we were joined on campus by P6 pupils from both Chirnsyde Primary School and Oakwood Primary School. Both schools made it a day to remember and gave us lots of amazing answers. Our mentor team performed brilliantly on another day with lots of new staff and changes!

Another huge achievement for our University!

We had a fantastic day with Bankhead Primary School and Miller Primary School P6 pupils on campus recently. Both sets of pupils were so engaged and our mentors were excellent on the day. Five brand new Young Strathclyder mentors making their debut on one event was a great moment!

We were delighted to welcome @WellshotPrimary to our campus for our first Young Strathclyder P6 event of 2025-26 at the beginning of September. The pupils were the first ever group to try our new P6 Science activity with a balloon experiment. There were some brilliant attempts!

Thomas from @StrathInspire introduced the pupils to the 2025 Accelerate Entrepreneur Challenge! A reminder that this is open to pupils across ALL challenges. Deadline for submission is July 4th with a very generous prize for the winner! 🤩 QR code attached.

The Chemical Engineering Challenge began their week by focusing on Bioplastics. The pupils were making plastic from biodegradable materials such as starch and seaweed! 🌿🧬 #wideningaccess @StrathEng

The Politics Challenge had a fantastic and inspiring start to the week with a guest lecture from Sir John Curtice. 📈 Sir John discussed the UK and Scottish political landscape in 2025 post general election and the impact this has had on the country. 📈

The Accelerate Challenge welcomed families on campus for a relaxed and informative evening.☕ Parents and guardians were able to find out about University, UCAS and SAAS as well as speak to challenge leaders about what their young person has been getting up to during the week!💡

Pupils on the Accelerate Law Challenge took part in a Negotiation Problem to settle a legal and financial dispute. All of the groups engaged in very high energy discussions to work their way towards a successful outcome for both parties. 🤝

Product Design Challenge have been using an app called gravity sketch to draw in virtual reality in real size. Issues that could go unnoticed on paper like the location of a handle or the size of a gap, becomes easy to see with VR Headsets! 👓📱
