Year 9 STEM science and languages workshops take place this week

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week all of Year 9 have been taking part in Languages and Science workshops. The MFL department are proud that with the help of SEE-Science, we have been lucky enough to enjoy the expertise and insights of 4 different speakers who all use languages in their business and scientific careers and in Wales: David, a UK diplomat, Chris and Sarah from Tata Steel and Lars from Dow Corning.

Here are some of 9X enjoying working on a task looking at different international scientific companies.

The MFL department of Cowbridge Comprehensive would like to express their thanks, danke schön, merci to David, Lars, Sarah and Chris, who all gave up their valuable time to talk to Year 9 about how their use languages in their careers and how languages have helped their careers in business and science to progress.

We are sure that all of Year 9 have enjoyed the thought provoking process considering new careers options open to them in Science, Languages and other areas of course!
