BELFAST is to play host to the world’s first international primary science education conference.
Organised by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT), the three-day event, taking place in Belfast’s Waterfront, from June 9-11, will celebrate excellence in the teaching and learning of primary science across the world.
It will include a range of workshops led by outstanding educators and showcases the best primary science there is to offer.
Keynote speakers will include clinical anatomist professor Alice Roberts, Dr Stuart Brown, professor Danielle George and BBC television’s ‘face of space’, scientist and broadcaster, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock.
The conference was devised by the PSTT to break down any boundaries that stand in the way of excellent primary science teaching and will give professionals the opportunity to network, establish contacts and learn inspiring methods to use in their own teaching practice to enthuse and inspire the next generation of young scientists.
