Coun Nick Oliver, cabinet member for corporate services at Northumberland County Council said: “Science, technology, engineering and maths are high on the agenda for all educational establishments and workplaces.

“As a council we are promoting them by engaging with local schools, children and businesses to increase the opportunities available in our county and showcase the exciting and varied career opportunities that the STEM subjects can open up for our young people.

“This event closes a fantastic summer of STEM events held across the county. We have had lots of young people attend, which is fantastic to see. But there is still more we plan to do to inspire as many young people as possible to follow careers in STEM areas.”
