Maths in the Pipeline

Maths in the Pipeline


5 S4 pupils from Millburn attended the one day pupil event, Maths in the Pipeline; organised by TechFest-SetPoint and assisted by oil and gas industry professionals.
The event was held at UHI Executive Offices near Eden Court.  A total of 10 schools from the area took part.  Each pupil was allocated to a team for the day.  Each pupil in the team was from a different school.  Using and building on teamwork skills, pupils were required to apply their mathematical knowledge to problems relating to the oil and gas industry.  A challenging day indeed!

Millburn Pupils who took part:

Craig Angus     4T

Chris Deacon

Tom Gibson      4S

Adam Kelly       4Q

In the morning a series of 3 workshops were held.  A Business Challenge was set in the afternoon with calculations to be done, a deadline to meet and a presentation to be made.

All of the Millburn pupils did the school proud.  Congratulations to all for their participation and sterling performance!
