CSES has a mission to advance public knowledge and understanding of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). We aim to reveal and promote awareness of STEM in people's everyday lives and to highlight innovation and industry in the region. We work with local government, businesses and the education sector, connecting key stakeholders and providing continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities.
In the coming months, Covid-19 is going to force us to try out virtual teaching on a mass scale. If down the line it leads to students being taught by the brightest and best, shouldn't we embrace it? Steven Cutts isn't so sure...
On 14 October 2020, CSES Vice President Adam Wood gave a talk at the Essex 2020 Big Education Conversation, hosted by always possible.
The subject of the talk was "How do we keep science and creativity experiences practical when we have to be apart?" The links to all the resources presented are published here for delegates' reference.
"A month of ideas on growing a sustainable Chelmsford" is how October is being labelled by Chelmsford City Council
The council is bringing together organisations from across Chelmsford to create Future City: a month of ideas on growing a sustainable Chelmsford. The mainly digital festival runs throughout October and tackles the themes of climate change, biodiversity and sustainability. The programme is intended to capture the moment as we think about life post-COVID-19, and it's hoped events and activities will encourage people in the city to make connections and provide fresh thinking about the future.
