These Primary STEM videos, created by the UHI STEM Outreach Team, are designed to help teachers build confidence in bringing STEM to the classroom. While they’re especially useful for probationer teachers, the ideas and practical tips can benefit anyone, from understanding science capital and introducing coding, to trying simple experiments and making the most of online STEM resources. The series also highlights further opportunities, including the STEM Nation Award and the valuable role of STEM Ambassadors in supporting learning.
