Or

Are you a former pupil of Boroughmuir and are currently studying a STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) based degree/HND/HNC?

If so, Boroughmuir High School needs you!

This would only involve a couple of hours one evening. Pupils would be meeting with you, in pairs, and chatting informally about your job. It is not a presentation and you do not need to prepare or bring anything with you.

If you are interested in helping inspire the next generation please contact the school by email Admin@boroughmuir.edin.sch.uk
