Students at schools around the UK, from Kent to Dundee to Antrim, joined us in celebrating Chemistry Week this year. Thank you to everyone who got involved!
Across 18 Chats, over 250 students from 14 different schools explored how chemistry shapes the world around them. 41 scientists using chemistry in their everyday work took part, to connect with classes from Year 5 to post-16.
Here’s a quick rundown of how the week went…
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Green Careers Week this year!
Over the week, students connected with scientists working in a wide range of roles, from climate research to food production, materials science, and space exploration.
Across 16 Chats, over 250 students connected with 44 different scientists working in green careers.
Across the summer term, sixth formers participated in the I’m a Scientist Sixth Form STEM Chats Programme. They connected with people who’ve studied, or teach, STEM subjects to explore what it’s really like to study science at university.
Weekly, 3-hour drop-in Chats each focused on a popular university subject. Students explored courses and career paths that interest them, and got personalised responses from people with first-hand experience. Here’s the run-down on how the Sixth Form STEM Chats went!
All teachers have access to moderation tools, but we want to share some top tips from our experience too.
We’ve put together 3 ways you can support your students to get the most out of their I’m a Scientist Chat. Continue reading
