Another amazing Saturday morning @BCAWarrington. @dojowarrington in full swing! Christmas edition. Had a great time! #warrington #coderdojo #stem @FablabWarrBCA @TCATchallenge @stem_educonnect
Geit in touch to get involved!
Imagine you had a bus that you were going to convert into a mobile STEM #makerspace to travel around North West Primary #schools and provide FREE hands on #STEM sessions for children and FREE #CPD for #teachers.
What equipment and activities would you want to see on the bus?

This is central to everything we do @stem_educonnect to support science departments.
Teachers are such a valuable resource and we have to invest in their expertise.
“Teachers have to be involved in curriculum development, because they’re the ones who have to make it work in the classroom”

At @stem_educonnect we can support your teachers to avoid 'expert blindness' and focus on ensuring children build a strong understanding of difficult concepts in science.
Get in touch to find out how.

“As subject experts, we can develop “expert blindness” which limits our understanding of how a novice responds to the reading and writing demands in our subjects.”
Chloe Butlin shows how think alouds can boost pupils’ learning across the curriculum.

We need to think carefully about how we educate children to exist safely and happily in a digital future. A ban isn't the answer.

One of our fantastic school partners!
Great to drop into one of our @TCATchallenge schools and catch our Y9 pupils building robots with @microbit_edu
Well done @BCAWarrington & Mrs Dodgson (who also works as part of @LynneBianchi's team)
