We currently have scholarships available for our MA in STEM education, funded by our partners Wipro. The scholarships cover 70% of fees and applications for the scholarships close in June.

Do you work as a secondary/FE science teacher in the UK? Have you seen this? 👀 If you can spare the time, please fill in this short survey 👇 https://loom.ly/7wjcLiQ

If anyone wants any information on the scholarship or the MA STEM Education, feel free to give me a shout. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and was so pleased to graduate two weeks ago.

A final call for applications for our KCL Optics Ambassadors Scheme which closes on Monday - details for students to apply are below:

With Wonyong Park and the ASE, we are running a survey on science teachers' use of research to inform teaching. If you are a science teacher, please consider taking 10-15 minutes to complete the survey. Participants may opt into a prize draw. southampton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This sounds amazing!

Are you a mathematics teacher in the UK? Or do you work in a job that requires the regular use of mathematics?

The Scope SEND project funded by the @nuffieldfoundation.org was launched today! Dr. Susana Castro-Kemp @scastrokemp.bsky.social and collaborators provided an overview of the project and shared initial insights from their ongoing research. Find out more about this important work: scopesend.com/home

We are conducting a survey exploring the use of making activities in formal STEM education. We are interested in hearing from STEM teachers of learners aged 5-18 based in England, regardless of whether they currently employ making activities in their teaching. qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

It was a pleasure to talk about the pros and cons of telling stories with @physicstp.bsky.social. The discussion was based on a project funded by the IOP with @benrogersedu.bsky.social and @liamciniodwyer.bsky.social We tried not to get too distracted by stories to focus on their value in teaching.

This is your LAST CHANCE to sign up for this online physics programme for Y12-13s - applications close on Monday! @ogdentrust.bsky.social @chatphysics.bsky.social @isaacphysics.org @rbrockphysics.bsky.social @hookean.bsky.social #iteachphysics #chatphysics

Are you interested in studying for a PhD in science education? In @crestem.bsky.social we have two scholarship now open - the Ros Driver (for science education) and the Bernard Dawson scholarships. More information here: www.kcl.ac.uk/ecs/research...

A reminder that applications are still open for the KCL Optics Summer 2025 for Y12 girls - please share the link with interested students and teachers. The deadline is the 23rd of April: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/optic...

Do stories in science lessons help learning? @rbrockphysics.bsky.social @liamciniodwyer.bsky.social and my new paper in the Journal of Research in Science Teaching explores the impact of stories in science lessons. See the full paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
