PRACTICAL MATTERS

 

ASE  Cymru are delighted to offer this TechMeet for Science Technicians  and TeachMeet for Science Teachers focusing on Practical Work. This is an opportunity for science technicians and teachers  to share great ideas for Primary and Secondary. Open to all; ASE non-members welcome. #tmase

 

What is a TechMeet?

 

It is an informal and enjoyable gathering of technicians. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialed in their prep room, a teaching resource they love, a great website, a classroom activity - whatever you like! You can ask questions or simply turn up to soak up all the great ideas and enthusiasm.

Timstar will offer a workshop on the robotic arm - established in 1970, Timstar is a leading provider of high-quality science equipment and resources for the effective teaching of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Offering advice, support and responsive customer service, demonstrations, training and CPD workshops our ultimate aim is to inspire tomorrow’s scientists by supplying core and innovative products on time, every time.

Come along, bring your own ideas  and meet us at our workshop to learn more about programming using the  Robot Arm Kit!

 

The main part of TechMeet is hearing stories about learning, from other technicians. This is a chance for education professionals to hear ideas from each other.

 

What is a TeachMeet?

 

It is an informal and enjoyable gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, a teaching resource they love, a great website, a classroom activity - whatever you like! You can ask questions or simply turn up to soak up all the great ideas and enthusiasm.

 

The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers and other education professionals. This is a chance for education professionals to hear ideas from each other, a chance to hear real narratives of practice that makes a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and gaining a whole bucket load of networking to boot!
