Celeste, 11, attends City Academy and attended one of our STEM in a Day school trips at EY in July 2016. She wrote a piece about her experience, including a poem!
We entered the shining tall building, and as we entered, we saw everything so organised and clean, looking as professional as the visit was itself. The staff looked lovely and were too. We had to create our own apps to replace school, to get a taste of what they do at EY. National Grid’s ngLabs were also there on the day and told us about wonderful things they work on – including virtual reality (VR). I got to use a VR headset and loved it so much that when I took it off, I saw that everyone else was already doing other things.
The view was amazing when we ate lunch, and everyone who came on the trip was very lucky to have met such wonderful people and have been to an amazing and astonishing place. The winners of the app won these lovely headphones, and we got some goody bags which I think is great, to show others how lucky I was to visit the EY. I wish them the best of luck with their life-changing hard work.
