the hospital staff are concerned?
n What do you think the benefits of housing an ‘emergency’ hospital within Buckingham Palace would be?
n How would we keep patients in touch with their families and friends?” Helen Sturdy continued: “It was inspiring to hear the students talk so enthusiastically, and the LEGO ‘Buckingham Palace’ helped them visualise the scenario and suggest different approaches. Among the conclusions were: n The King would have to move residences and take his antiques with him.
n We would keep the caterers and have ‘five-star’ lunches.
n The bus became an ambulance, and the gates to the Palace were too small for medical vehicles to access, so we would need to demolish some walls.
n Furniture would have to be flat-packed, and we would need manufacturers to provide it.
n We would need architects to plan the space for optimal efficiencies, and then builders and engineers to create the right environment.
n Once we had the patients comfortable, we would need to ensure we had nurses to care for them, feed them, keep things clean, and remove waste.
“It was great to be able to cover all the professional roles involved, and as somebody who started out via an apprenticeship, to be able to enlighten participants about some of the career routes available, as well as to promote membership of IHEEM.”
TeenTech event in Roehampton A third STEM event where Helen Sturdy engaged with aspiring engineers was a TeenTech ‘Festival Day’ on 25 May at the University of Roehampton in south-west London. TeenTech events bring together regional schools ‘for an exciting interactive
programme to help young people understand the range of opportunities across digital, science and technology’. An award-winning charity, TeenTech was founded in 2008 by Maggie Philbin from the BBC programme, Tomorrow’s World, and highly experienced mechanical engineer, Chris Dodson OBE, to help students see the wide range of career possibilities within science, technology, and engineering. TeenTech Festivals are ‘highly interactive, and designed to inspire young teenagers and their teachers about the contemporary industries shaping their future’. They give students and teachers from across a region ‘the opportunity to try their hand at immersive challenges and experiments, to handle cutting-edge technology and – most importantly – to spend time with engineers, technologists, and scientists from a wide range of companies influencing their 21st-century lives’. Over 200 pupils from 18 schools worked alongside University of Roehampton student teachers and undergraduates at the Festival Day, participating in interactive activities with organisations including the National Physical Laboratory, Amazon Web Services, NHS Estates, and E-Sports Roehampton University. The University of Roehampton’s secondary student teachers, secondary subject tutors, and STEM ambassadors, were involved, and worked with the pupils throughout the day as part of the University’s PGCE programme. Students in years 10, 11, and 12 were
also involved in workshops that provided insight into the wide range of STEM careers. Helen Sturdy said: “I again took along the LEGO model of Buckingham Palace, and talked through with the young people I met their ideas on the challenges of converting the Palace to an emergency hospital. I also discussed career opportunities in healthcare estates
and facilities management, healthcare engineering, and healthcare construction and procurement. Again, it proved an interesting day, and – I hope – useful for those I met. I am looking forward to a few more such STEM events throughout the year, and would encourage IHEEM members and other HEJ readers interested in doing so to take a few hours out of their schedule and participate in such an event. It was really rewarding to engage with young minds – our future.”
