About Scott's workshop
“Some of the biggest challenges we face stem from how we interact with our environment. Science and engineering is at the heart of finding sustainable solutions. Working with water is particularly important when thinking about the environment, as it sustains all life and is essential to the survival of the planet”.
This interactive and hands-on workshop is designed to introduce teachers to the Royal Academy of Engineering’s STEM resources. Activities and challenges cover a range of topics, such as designing flood defences, generating energy from water, protecting rivers and oceans from invasive species, and investigating methods to clean up oil spills.
The workshop provides practical and contextually-based applications, so that students and teachers can understand the role that STEM-based learning plays in real-world engineering scenarios. Resource activities and challenges can be used both in STEM enrichment clubs and to enhance the science curriculum.
Outcomes
You will be able to:
- work collaboratively to identify priorities in science teaching and learning and in science-specific professional development for your teams
- share and develop strategies to tackle these issues, drawing on expertise as needed from outside the network
