For Key Stage 2 – Post-16
Extend your students’ Life experience with a live virtual session in your classroom.
Life is partnering with I’m a Scientist to bring a new virtual experience to classrooms. Your students will connect with real people working in exciting STEM jobs in the North East through an energetic real-time text-based chat.
The school can look at the scientist profiles before the session, to brainstorm some questions and make the most out of the experience. Questions range from scientists’ careers to their personal lives, humanising the scientists as real people from the region, just like your students.
These sessions take place during school hours, often in the place of lessons. They align with the Gatsby Good Careers Guidance Benchmarks, providing inspiring encounters with STEM employers across the region, allowing students to explore areas that interest them most, and linking curriculum learning to careers.
All students will need to take part is a device with internet access. For the best session possible, the whole class, including the teacher, log into their own accounts so they can each ask their own questions. Life’s Explainers will be on hand to introduce the scientists, guide the students through the chat and ensure a safe and inspirational experience.
