Give context to your teaching. Through text-based Chats and follow-up questions, students are able to explore real-life applications of their classroom studies.
It’s quick and easy to set up, and text-only – no audio or video required.
It’s accessible from the classroom or home, and is super-flexible – you book chats at times that suit you and your classes.
Thanks to funding from the STEM Ambassadors, this activity is completely free for UK state-maintained schools.
