In February 2019, LOST worked in partnership with Dumfries House and RHET (Royal Highland Educational Trust) to host an event called Women in Wellies (now, Working in Wellies).  The event was funded and supported by Education Scotland’s Enhancing Professional Learning in STEM Grants Programme through the Scottish Government STEM Education and training Strategy.  The initiative aimed to support teachers to encourage young people to consider STEM and rural subjects and careers.  To read more about the event and it’s impact, please click on the link below.
