As part of the STEM activities organised by our college, our year 6 students visited the Science Labs at Ħandaq Secondary on Wednesday 17th April. The students took part in various hands-on activities. A special thank you goes to Ms Charlotte Saliba and her team of teachers who prepared these activities and thoroughly enjoyed hosting our students. We all hope that our students left feeling inspired and excited about Science.
In our recent class activity, we delved into the fascinating world of materials, sparking curiosity among the students about their properties and potential applications. Venturing further, we harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to engage in a riveting conversation with the renowned inventor Margaret Knight. Through the innovative tool Character.ai, the children eagerly posed insightful questions about her groundbreaking invention—a machine capable of folding and gluing paper bags, revolutionizing packaging as we know it. Inspired by Knight’s ingenuity, the students embarked on a hands-on journey to design and craft their own bags, a task requiring careful consideration of size and durability to accommodate specific items. This immersive experience not only nurtured a deeper understanding of materials and invention but also cultivated critical thinking and innovation skills, empowering the students to explore and innovate in their own right.
