Funding boost for science engagement at Our Dynamic Earth
Scottish science centre Our Dynamic Earth is to receive significant funding through the Science Engagement Grant scheme, a Scottish Government initiative to engage young people in science.
The attraction will receive more than £80,000 to support three projects including a summer show in collaboration with Edinburgh International Science Festival.
Funds will also be used to develop the Closer2Nature project, a schools’ outreach programme, delivered in association with the Scottish Seabird Centre.
Taking environmental science to schools across Scotland, it offers the first Climate Change Workshop available on an outreach basis.
All three of these projects will be match funded by a minimum of 5% by Our Dynamic Earth and other partners. Thirty-three other projects across Scotland will also benefit from the overall £615,000 funding from the Science Engagement Scheme which is expected to reach 300,000 pupils.
