Whilst not specifically related to the STEM project I’m involved with delivering some of the Education Activities at Newark; some of which have a strong scientific bias e.g. principles of flight, forces etc at KS1 and KS2.

This can be extremely rewarding especially seeing the excitement of 20 to 30 young people flying their paper planes to test out the scientific principles you’ve been discussing. It becomes even more rewarding when you start to see schools returning for repeat visits! 🙂

Any positive engagement with young people on scientific subjects should be applauded and encouraged. 🙂

This link provides a bit of background detail to what NAM offers.

We’re currently waiting for 750 new education DVDs to be pressed that detail the history of Nottinghamshire’s Airfields. This DVD has been researched and compiled by some museum volunteers using the NAM Archive and copies will be sent to every Primary School in the County.
