Forth Valley College
STEM Nursery, Primary and Secondary outreach.![](https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/glowblogs/public/stemnation/uploads/sites/8486/2020/02/11135351/pixk-andmix.png)
The grant provided by Education Scotland has allowed the STEM outreach team to deliver exciting, hands on STEM experiences to schools throughout the Forth Valley, and to create a huge repository of online teaching and learning materials, all matched to Curriculum for Excellence. With a focus on environmental and sustainability issues, this is run as The Famous Four Save the Planet and is delivered on a Tuesday and Thursday throughout the academic year.
The team has also facilitated a number of Knowledge Exchange or ‘Pick and Mix’ events for practitioners from early learning and childcare settings and primary schools. The events feature a market stall showcasing the Technobox (Electrical Engineering for hire), STEM in a bag – five experiments to take away – and help in navigating the activities from the Moodle page. The team also demonstrate the experiments from the The Famous Four Save the Planet programme that runs on a Tuesday and Thursday.
