TMGSF12


 

 

 

Wednesday 13th June 2012

 

16.30-18.30

 

Kelvin Building

University of Glasgow

G12 8QQ


 

An informal and enjoyable gathering of those wishing to chat about science and the new curriculum, whilst sharing a glass of wine on the Glasgow Science Festival. 

This event will bring together teachers and STEM Ambassadors (practicing scientists and engineers who volunteer time for school projects). 

The event offers the opportunity to meet informally and discuss how Ambassadors can work effectively within a school.

 

When you sign up, you’ll be invited to volunteer to give a short talk (7 minutes or just 2 minutes) on something you’ve been doing or discovering in your science teaching, or simply turn up to soak up all the great ideas and enthusiasm!

Travel

Both University Avenue and nearby Byres Road are well served by public transport, with frequent buses and the Underground at Hillhead.

There should be parking available in University Place.

Follow along on Twitter, so let's keep it all together and use the following tag for all posts, images, tweets and presentations to do with TeachMeet Glasgow Science Festival: #TMGSF12

 

 

TeachEat

 

Typically, after a TeachMeet a number of participants go out for dinner. Everyone is welcome, and for many it is as important a part of the evening as the Teachmeet.

 

It is expected that each person will pay for their own meal and drinks as it is unlikely that sponsorship will cover this cost.
