THIS award is to recognise the work that schools do in the ever- changing world of science and technology.
With technology arguably moving faster than ever before, what is going on in our schools today might seem like science fiction to older generations. It is up to our schools and colleges to make sure Bradford’s children are as well equipped for the future as possible.
Curriculums are constantly changing, and there is more work than ever before on trying to make sure the future technology and science workforce is made up of people from all walks of life.
Do you know a science teacher who can make even the most difficult of scientific theories fun and accessible for children?
Does your local college help children who might not have excelled in other academic areas realise they want to take an apprenticeship in a technological field? Has a school been working to close the gap between boys and girls studying STEM (Science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects?
The award could go to a school, primary or secondary, college or an individual.
At the 2016 ceremony Aliyah Bashir from Carlton Bolling College won the award for her “can-do” attitude in teaching the subject.
After just four years she had been asked to become temporary leader of the science facility.
