The I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here! project is getting better.
From January 2024, teachers can decide on a theme for their I’m a Scientist activity throughout the year. No more waiting for a particular zone, they can choose their preferred subject at the time that suits them.
Their theme might be linked with their current learning, to show students how the curriculum directly relates to the real-world, or it might be a more general science topic.
Scientists whose work relates to the theme will be invited to a real-time, text-based class Chat and to answer students’ follow up questions.
As before everything happens online and is monitored by DBS-checked moderators. Participation in I’m a Scientist is fully-funded for UK state-maintained schools.
