Science is at the Heart of Edinburgh! However, not all families can make it to Edinburgh to enjoy our Science Festival. So for four months each year we take amazing science workshops to schools across Scotland.
Generation Science brings educational and entertaining shows and hands-on activities to classrooms. We have an incredible 23 years’ experience of bringing science to life for school pupils – since we started, we’ve reached more than a million pupils.
We constantly develop our shows to meet the needs of teachers in line with the Curriculum for Excellence, and consistently receive great feedback. Our aim is to improve the teaching of science in Scottish primary schools and support teachers to deliver the curriculum. We make learning and teaching science fun.
However, some schools simply don't have the funds to pay for Generation Science. As an educational charity, we work hard to provide free science workshops for schools in disadvantaged areas. Last year we delivered 600 free and subsidised workshops to schools in priority areas, reaching 24,301 children.
For as little as £5 you can provide a pupil a free Generation Science show in their own classroom.
