Lead Institution: University of Bristol
Collaborating with: Graphic Science, Lighting Up Learning Ltd
Through adoption of the Enhancing STEM Academics' Public Engagement Skills project, Newcastle University took the training and support provided to plan the design and development of a new outreach activity, Should we fix climate change?, aimed at secondary school pupils. The workshop allows participants to experience hands-on activities related to climate change data, and to encourage debate-style discussion surrounding the science, ethics and politics of climate change.
In addition, Newcastle took the opportunity to train up early career researchers in STEM engagement activities so that they could act as champions back in their faculties.
The adoption activities at Newcastle were led by Carla Washbourne (carla-leanne.washbourne@newcastle.ac.uk). Find out more in the case study below.
Newcastle Headstart
1. Creation of a new workshop, which will be run in-house at Newcastle University over the summer term 2011-12 and autumn term 2012-13
2. Engagement and collaboration with Newcastle University Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering undergraduate STEM ambassadors
3. Provision of training for early career researchers wishing to develop their own STEM engagement activities
4. Creation of a STEM ‘champion’ scheme within Newcastle University Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering
Please find below a case study of Newcastle's engagement in the project, alongside a session plan that should help you to implement a similar workshop to Should we fix climate change? Should you like to know more, feel free to contact Carla at carla-leanne.washbourne@newcastle.ac.uk.
