STEM Clubs

180 students and members of staff attended to see 3 of the country's leading scientists take them on a journey into the science behind the nation's favourite dish. Volunteers from the audience helped to demonstrate why onions make you cry, how you can super-freeze water and why chillies are hot!

The evening also hosted local curry restaurants such as the Brilliant, Omis and Rita's, who allowed the local community to sample some of their dishes and put into practice some of the science they had learned.

The event organiser was suitably impressed. Of the three shows held before Featherstone's, she claimed ours was the best!

"Thank you so much for hosting such a lovely evening for the curry tour. The input of the school, the local curry houses, and the enthusiasm of the pupils really made it a great event, and the scientists who presented the show were really pleased that it went so well."

The event also had a surprise guest in the form of Dr.Yan from BBC 1's Bang Goes the Theory. Dr. Yan, a leading science communicator, was very impressed by the enthusiasm shown by our students and may pay us a visit in the near future!

Overall the evening was a great success and we would like to thank all staff and students who contributed to it.
