University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)

University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) will be building on their previous grant awards by developing a ‘Lend a Lab’ digital resource box to share with educators at schools and libraries across northern Scotland as well as with the public at community led science festivals. Other STEM providers will also be able to access the resources to encourage inclusion of digital sessions at a variety of events. Educators will be able to borrow the ‘Lend a Lab’ for up to four weeks with staff from UHI providing training on how to use the equipment and predeveloped resources. This will help build self-confidence and equip educators to support young people in an assured manner. For some organisations, it also presents an opportunity to “try before you buy” should they be interested in purchasing similar resources.
