Just what is secret STEM?

In a world where industries are evolving at lightning speed, it can be tough to pinpoint exactly where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) fits in. While some careers scream “STEM,” others quietly integrate these essential fields in ways that might surprise you.

Enter Secret STEM, a groundbreaking initiative that was brought to life at Mount St Joseph today by Mrs Rehman from GMHigher. Through an exclusive workshop held at our school, students were given the rare chance to uncover some of the hidden layers of STEM in careers that aren’t always so obvious.

During the session, Mrs. Rehman led students through a series of engaging activities that highlighted how STEM is woven into industries like fashion, the media, and even sports that many might not traditionally associate with science or engineering. Students explored how technology drives innovation in these unexpected sectors.

As part of GMHigher’s mission to inspire young learners, Mrs. Rehman’s workshop emphasised that STEM careers aren’t limited to just being in labs or behind computer screens—they touch nearly every aspect of modern life. Her passion for broadening students’ career horizons came through in both of the sessions she ran for our students, making complex concepts seem both accessible and exciting.

With industries constantly evolving, programs like this Secret STEM workshop are more important than ever in preparing students for a future full of possibilities.

We would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to Mrs Rehman for her inspiring sessions and dedication to empowering the next generation of innovators!
