Hi @BrumHour. From saying goodbye to our current trainees, to saying hello to our new trainee teachers - it's been an emotional end of term! We can't wait for a bit of normality to return. Have a safe and happy summer! Thanks #BrumHour https://t.co/2Gd7SV1amp

It's the final week of our #teaching #steminternship programme already! We look at how to prepare for interviews and our interns will also get to 'teach'. Being online is certainly different to last year's outdoor activities! https://t.co/tSTs5bpFum

We are half way through our #STEMInternship programme. So great to have such an engaged group of undergraduates seeing if #teaching may be a future career for them. Looking forward to having a read of their journals later today. https://t.co/mg0XV0HitT
