Women in Construction & Design Challenge Day - National Apprenticeship Week 2025
A group of Year 10 students took part in a whole day event at the Euston Skills Centre as part of National Apprenticeship Week. The day consisted of a series of challenges and workshops, including sustainable design and the development of green skills.
Fahmida, Year 10:
I really enjoyed our trip because it offered a hands-on experience that was both engaging and educational. We got the opportunity to use virtual reality equipment, which made the experience immersive and thrilling. Working in teams to design and build structures helped us develop valuable skills in time management, teamwork, and budget management. Witnessing the various aspects that go into a design process has broadened my perspective on engineering and architecture.
Amelia, Year 10:
My favourite workshop was one where you had to design an ideal space for young people to hang out in. We had a side with seating and for relaxing, and on the other side of the wall we had a climbing wall and other things you may find in a gym. I also liked the VR workshop and I thought it was really cool to play with. Overall, I think the workshops were really fun and I learnt a lot about the fields in construction.
