Following in the footsteps of the pioneering NASA scientists featured in Hidden Figures<\/a>, on 13th June, year 4 and 5 explorers and engineers from across the GDST family of schools gathered together at the STEM centre at Brunel University<\/a>. As one of the newest buildings on campus, its primary aim is to inspire young people to pursue STEM-based subjects.<\/p>\n Throughout the day, GDST girls enjoyed a number of STEM activities designed to nurture their curiosity, deepen their understanding and ensure they had lots of fun! The girls were joined by Dr Julie Keeble, from King\u2019s College London<\/a>, who has launched over 20 experiments to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n![\"gdst](\"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1_3.jpg\" "\\"GDST")
