Learning Lab: Powering the Future

Due to the continued bad weather forecast, and the safety of our visitors and staff, our ice rink will remain closed today and tomorrow morning 8th December. If you have booked a slot, we will be in touch. We will monitor the weather and hopefully open tomorrow afternoon. Please check back for updates.

A free funded STEM experience for North East schools

Life has teamed up with our friends at Glasgow Science Centre to offer a fully funded Learning Lab: Powering the Future package.

This unique STEM programme supports teachers and inspires students through a range of engaging learning experiences over several weeks. The package includes lesson plans, worksheets, video content, expert interactions, professional development, and homework activities. Participating classes will also enjoy a visit to Life Science Centre, complete with a hands-on workshop. The curriculum-linked content draws on the Science, Geography and English programmes of study.

Students learning in Mission Control, a hands-on exhibit in Life Science Centre's Space Zone.

Thanks to funding from OPITO, this programme is free for schools in North East England. It is aimed at Key Stage 2 pupils (year 3-6).

Schools in the North East* can register their interest. If the programme is oversubscribed, schools will be selected based on the following criteria:

State-funded schools
Schools with higher-than-average levels of Free School Meals (FSM)
Schools that have not visited Life recently through other funded programmes

*For this project, the North East includes: County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, Sunderland, Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton, and Redcar and Cleveland.
