Just to let you all know that now that schools are back, we’ve posted out I’m a Scientist mugs to all the teachers who took part in the pilot event. They are just a little thank you for your support and the effort you put in to make the event a success. We really couldn’t have done it without you. Hope you like them!

Feel free to liven up the blog by sending us photos of yourselves with your mugs:-)

Here in the office we’re busy getting ready for ‘I’m a Councillor, Get me out of Here!’, which will be in October, for Local Democracy Week. I’m a Councillor is the event I’m a Scientist is based on, and we’ve been running it for five years now. If any of you know Citizenship or Politics teachers who might be interested in the event, then point them in the direction of the information for teachers on our website. The council needs to sign up (to volunteer some councillors), but we have a list of which councils are doing it, and who would be organising it at each council.
