@VEXRoboticsUK @johnspeedyu @aircadets @1409Consett @rafyouthengage @ComdtAC @fts_2 Speechless!! What an amazing job!

@johnspeedyu @aircadets @1409Consett @rafyouthengage @ComdtAC @fts_2 @DNWSTEMSpace They did fantastic representing the North East at Nationals, both competing and volunteering! Can’t wait to see them representing the UK at #VEXWorlds!

Congratulations to this amazing team who are also part of @aircadets @1409Consett excited to see you represent 🇬🇧 @VEXRoboticsUK world championship in Dallas Texas USA 🇺🇸 @rafyouthengage these are exceptional cadets inspiring the next generation @ComdtAC @fts_2 @DNWSTEMSpace

@1248aircadets @DNWAirCadets @aircadets @ComdtAC @ACO_RCNORTH @AirCadetsNorth Awesome job! Well done all 🤙

2/2 A special thanks to @DNWAirCadets, for helping to support STEM initiatives such as CREST on Squadrons in the Wing! @DNWSTEMSpace @aircadets @ComdtAC @ACO_RCNORTH @AirCadetsNorth

1/2 Well done to the cadets from #Team1248, who last night completed their work towards their @CRESTAwards! Working in groups, cadets completed either the Discovery or Bronze levels, completing the “Paper Plane” and “Power Glider” challenges respectively!

@DevelopOffDNW Good Luck!

✨️Arduino Buzzers✨️ Tonight I took a visit to @WideopenATC and delivered an Arduino session with the new @DNWAirCadets STEM & Space kit! Cadets made and programmed circuits including a frequency modulator using a Potentiometer and Piezo 🙉

Meet Ollie the RC Arduino Car! 🤗 Come say hello at the STEM & Space stall on @DNWAirCadets competitions day!

@1248aircadets @CRESTAwards @DNWAirCadets @ComdtAC Love it! 1248 is leading the way 🤙

@DNWSTEMSpace @CRESTAwards @DNWAirCadets @ComdtAC You can check them out here Sir!

Tonight at #Team1248 we kicked off July with some more awards for our cadets! Well done to: ⚙️ Cdt Hodgson for his @CRESTAwards 🌟 Cdt Parsons who received his Basic Radio Operator, his Silver trained shot and his First Flight certificate! #whatwedo @DNWAirCadets @ComdtAC

@1248aircadets @CRESTAwards Woo Hoo! CREST Awards!!! Congratulations all 🚀🚀

🌟 ALL OF THE AWARDS! 🌟 Tonight saw OC 1248 dish out THIRTY SIX certificates and badges to our cadets! We saw awards for: • First Aid • Space • Classification training • Shooting • Swimming • @CRESTAwards • First flights Great work everyone!

✨️VR Preparations✨️ Doing some testing of our new kit with some of our staff ahead of our STEM & Space stall at @DNWAirCadets Competitions Day!

@3wwSTEM Hmmmm sounds like something I should try myself. ...a couple times 😆

✨More Marshmallows✨ Sometimes our visits require us to go all around the Wing, here is us at 1100 (Ashington) Squadron running a Marshmallow challenge. The objective here is to build a tall free-standing structure, but the actual goal is to apply STEM principles.

✨️School Engagement✨️ Today, with 1151 (Wallsend) Squadron, we took part in a Theme Day delivering STEM-Based team building tasks at @EducatingCCC Yes...it was with Marshmallows 😆

✨National Space Centre✨ In May, 45 cadets from @DNWAirCadets took to @spacecentre to foster their interest in all things Space! This included many exhibitions and a show at the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium! What a great day🚀🚀

✨Bronze Space Course✨ Recently, the Wing Space Team ran a Bronze Space Course which saw 19 cadets earn the qualification. Cadets took part in classroom sessions, research and presentations and even a virtual escape room. Well done all!!🚀🚀

✨Space Crafts✨ We don't just do the Space courses, we also run sessions to get cadets interested in Space. This is a session ran by Cdt Sgt McKenna at @242aircadets where cadets designed their own Mars bases before presenting them to the group!🚀

✨Blue Space✨ @DNWAirCadets are making sure that all cadets can work through the Blue and Bronze Courses before the release of the Silver Course and the Space BTEC! Here's Sgt Merlin Mee delivering Blue Space at 1313 (Whickham) Sqn

✨STEM✨ STEM is a hugely broad subject, one of the ways we can discuss STEM principles and critical thinking is through activities like bridge building. Here are pictures from a recent visit to 1248 (Prudhoe) Squadron.

✨Bridge Building✨ Another member of our team, Sgt Will Armstrong, is a Civil Engineer and has been visiting Squadrons to run a Bridge Building activity. Here are some photos from his recent visit to 1027 (Jarrow) Squadron.

@andywatson83 🤣🤣

i'll take this.
