Project overview
'Science by the Sea' is an engaging and immersive STEM outreach project designed for students from local Poole schools. The initiative offers students a unique opportunity to engage with environmental science through an educational visit to Upton Country Park's Natural Reserve during the last week of the school term. The visit will include a guided walk and a hands-on STEM activity focused on topics such as organic pollution, invasive species, and algal blooms. By targeting schools with diverse backgrounds, the project promotes cultural exchange and understanding, fostering a more equitable learning environment for all participants. We value the input of teachers and students in shaping the project's content and activities and, as such, we are co-producing the educational materials and the planning of the visit with the schools involved.
