STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths), dominates today’s world. Our TV, newspapers and social media are full of stories dependent on these disciplines. Without STEM today’s world would be a very different place. In our group, we want to broaden our knowledge in these areas and try to understand some of the factors that are shaping our world and its future.
Our meetings run from 2pm to 4pm on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month from September to March (excluding the 2nd Monday in December and March) and you don’t have to be a scientist or engineer to enjoy them. We welcome members who are curious about science, technology and engineering - its history, where it is today, and what’s ahead! The meetings are an opportunity to learn something new and interesting, and meet people who have a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
In each meeting we have a speaker on a relevant and interesting topic followed by questions and discussion. Our speakers come from among the members of the group or from outside the group. The group is led by a team of U3A members, with Rod Moody as leader and Cath Blacketer, Liz Hamilton, David Randon and Robin Jenkins in support.
