Collyer’s reach for the stars
Joe Brock, Collyer’s Head of Faculty for Mathematics and Science, was delighted: “This was a chance for students to experience a real world application of both their Electronics and Physics lessons. As a Collyer’s alumnus, Louise is an inspiration to current students to see what can be achieved through hard work and application. Louise also kindly took time out to give the students some excellent advice on careers and the qualifications required to get into this field of engineering.”
The visit also included a unique insight into the technical problems and engineering challenges involved in this exciting area.

I’m thrilled that our students were given this chance and it is so touching when our former students remember us so fondly and are keen to help the next generation.
