John Cridland, Director-General
of the CBI recently said “How can we expect to inspire future generations of
scientists and engineers if we don’t deliver high-quality and inspiring science
lessons at primary school age? If we are
not careful, too many children will have lost interest in science before they
reach their teens”. SATRO is able to
help teachers of whom over half say that primary science in schools is being
squeezed out and that many teachers feel it is not a priority subject and many
schools struggling to teach the recommended two hours per week.
Last year we worked with over
15,000 young people aged from 5 – 18 by delivering our inspirational hands on challenging
and diverse programmes in schools. Our programmes
range from Fun Maths, Business Games, Career Speed Dating to ICT programming
which are all delivered in an age appropriate manner utilising our 650
professional volunteers many of whom are from the science, technology,
engineering and maths business sectors.
