Life Science Centre is a unique learning resource serving the North East of England. For over 25 years we’ve supported teachers by delivering activities that enhance and enrich the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) curriculum.
We continue to work closely with schools, listening to teachers and responding to their needs and the challenges they face.
The current programme is our most exciting and relevant yet. It is fine-tuned to meet the demands of the 21st century and is rooted in the curriculum, with our trademark interactive approach integral to the mix.
Life provides the ideal environment for all students to flourish, raise their aspirations and actively consider the wealth of STEM careers available to them.
We aim to ignite students’ imaginations and inspire a curiosity for science and the world around them; creating or cementing a meaningful and memorable relationship with science that could last a lifetime.
