Stem in the Pipeline
Stem in the Pipeline
S6 pupils take part in the annual In the Stem in the Pipeline challenge. A team of pupils are tasked with creating a development plan for a fictional oil field in the North Sea. This involves extensive research into the oil and gas industry and using multiple maths skills to determine the most economical strategy to extract oil and make profit. In the 2023/24 school session Meldrum Academy were judged to be the winners from among a total of 12 other schools – a fantastic achievement.
