I’m a Scientist, Get Me Out of Here!

This great programme connects students with working scientists and support them to see science as something “for them”. The activity supports your students’ science capital, showing them how their classroom learning relates to real-world careers. The text-based platform gives every student an equal voice, from the most confident to the most shy.

“They can give free-responses and ask anything they are interested in. I think they enjoy the autonomy. They also feel privileged to be able to chat directly with people they view as ‘important’!!!” Zoe, Teacher
By registering, you get automatic access to I’m an Engineer and I’m a Mathematician too. Matching enrichment to your students’ current learning couldn’t be easier – choose any theme that suits you to invite relevant scientists to a Chat, on demand, year-round.
