For example they learned basic first aid and practising in simulated emergencies. They developed their cooking skills in a burger kitchen, they learned how to make recycled paper for a sustainable resources agency, and even developed their engineering knowledge as part of a Formula One team. The range of jobs represented was huge, and our students used their experience to plan and develop the science lessons they…
