These future QUB experts joined us on campus to explore some of the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead of them.
From #MedicalSimulation and #MarineScience to #MediaInnovation and tackling #Climate and #Biodiversity, the young participants in the #STEAM summer scheme took part in educational experiences across the Queen's campus, giving them a taster for future studies and career paths.
The Summer Scheme was co-designed by @QUBCommunities1 and @MDABelfast.
We hope you had fun, everyone. We can't wait to see what you do next!
