Thousands of young people across Glasgow will\u00a0celebrate British Science Week at 25 events running\u00a0in primary schools throughout the city.<\/p>\n

STEM fairs, family events and career information sessions are being organised by the Primary Science Leaders of the RAiSE (Raising Attainment in Science Education) programme.<\/p>\n

RAiSE is funded and delivered by The Wood Foundation, Education Scotland, Scottish Government and participating local authorities. It increases the confidence, skills and networks of primary teachers to develop and deliver impactful STEM (science, technology, maths and engineering) lessons.<\/p>\n

As well as supporting and developing these STEM lead teachers in schools, RAiSE has also provided funding to enable their delivery.<\/p>\n

Alex McLaughlin, Primary Science Development Officer for Glasgow, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cBritish Science Week is a great opportunity to shine a light on STEM within and outwith the classroom, giving young people opportunities to be inspired and impacted by exciting events and lessons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly proud of the development of the Primary Science Leaders in the Glasgow area and delighted they have the confidence and respect within their settings to lead on projects such as these.\u201d<\/p>\n
