Early years and primary school STEM engagement

The UHI STEM Outreach Programme offers a series of ‘Discovery Kits’ containing themed content, resources and learning plans aligned to the Curriculum for Excellence. Our UHI STEM outreach coordinators deliver the kits to schools, and work alongside teachers to deliver the topics in a fun and engaging way.

Sessions are provided free of charge to schools and include support to help teachers build confidence in their own STEM knowledge. All of our materials are available in Gaelic to support  engagement in Gaelic medium classes.
