BT Insight Day for Year 9 and 10 Students
Attending BT’s Insight Day at the Martlesham Headquarters, Year 9 and 10 students explored the Openreach Lab, where they began the day watching 3D printing in action, learning the difference between copper and fibre cables, and even discovering what it’s like to climb a BT telephone pole!
They also visited the Network Operations Centre (NOC), where they saw how engineers across the UK are monitored alongside vital systems and services. Later, in the Technology Showcase, they learned how BT is developing new technologies to support industries such as healthcare, finance, security, and even our own homes.
After exploring the path of an IP packet, learning more about how emails and streaming work, and discovering the journey data takes to reach our screens, the students returned to school bursting with new knowledge and experiences.
A huge thank you to BT Group for hosting us, and to our students for representing themselves and the School so brilliantly.
