On Thursday 6th February,  twelve Year 7 Papplewick boys were invited to a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) 'Inspire' day at Intel Ltd. The boys had a truly great day as they learnt about AI (artificial intelligence), how to program an android in order to make a jam sandwich and they also built a personal computer. In the afternoon the boys were challenged to design and make a rocket car and then fire it from one side of a room to the other. 

At the end of the day the boys took part in a question and answer session with a range of Intel employees regarding the skills and traits needed to gain employment in the tech industry.

Headmaster Tom Bunbury said "This was a great experience for the boys to see the various challenges in this fast moving industry - programming an android to make a jam sandwich would not normally be part of their day!"
