Science Events

In 2007, NIACE and The National Science Learning Centre (NSLC) ran “Teaching Science to Adults – Do Try This At Home”, a free residential conference for teachers working mainly in adult and community education. The conference was very successful, and some participants subsequently obtained funding from the NSLC for local action-research projects. A similar residential conference is now planned for 23-25 June 08 (see http://www.sciencelearningcentres.org.uk  for details), and will include workshops focussed on science for visually impaired adults, science in family learning, science for ESOL learners, together with plenty of hands-on science activities, and support for participants to develop new projects. The conference is being held at the National Science Learning Centre’s state-or-the-art conference centre in York, where participants will have full access to a well-stocked Resource Centre and to well equipped laboratories.
