Local STEM coordinators
The ÐÔÊӽ紫ý STEM Outreach Programme is a series of ‘Discovery Kits’ containing themed content, resources and learning plans aligned to the Curriculum for Excellence.
ÐÔÊӽ紫ý STEM Outreach Coordinators take Discovery Kits to schools and work alongside teachers to deliver the topic in a fun and engaging way.
Sessions are supplied at no cost to the school and there is support for teachers to help develop confidence in their own STEM knowledge.
Below you’ll find the names of our ÐÔÊӽ紫ý STEM outreach coordinators, along with the areas they cover.
If you’d like to learn more about the outreach programme and our Discovery Kits, or if you’d like to arrange an outreach session, please contact the relevant coordinator using the email address provided.
Alternatively, you can get in touch with the ÐÔÊӽ紫ý STEM team at STEM@uhi.ac.uk.
