This significant new online resource from Learning and Teaching Scotland is packed with ideas, resources and links to help you create learning experiences that bring STEM (Sciences, Technologies, Engineering and Maths) subjects to life for learners. Using the focus of engineering, the STEM Central website offers stimulating and challenging interdisciplinary experiences based around contexts related to sustainability such as electric transport and renewable energy.
All the teaching ideas are linked to specific Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes at third and fourth levels, and the learning journeys are supported with videos, activities and links to additional resources and information. To help inspire your learners, there are also links to careers resources and the real-life testimonies from contemporary Scottish engineers.
It enables you to explore the key learning and teaching approaches that can support STEM learning and meets the aims of the ‘Science & Engineering 21 - An Action Plan for Education’ by highlighting the big issues around science today.
