Research shows that by the age of just 7, many children feel that science is not 'for them', with the number of Scottish post-16 learners in STEM subjects in decline. At the same time, one-third of young people report feeling anxious about climate change. We tackle this by providing engaging schools programmes which motivate pupils about science, help them see how scientists are directly tackling the climate crisis and inspire them to learn more science themselves.
Dynamic Earth provides accessible, affordable STEM and climate learning which helps school pupils gain new skills, and feel more confident and motivated in their learning. A teacher tells us "Your work is essential. It is so important that children in today's world have an interest in and knowledge of science'. In addition, we show learners how scientists are tackling climate change, inspiring them to take action themselves. "When we know things, we don't have to be scared." Elodie, aged 7.
