British Science Festival 2009

SciberBrain took the techniques we learned at our recent CPD workshop and put them into practice with five groups of real live school children at this year's festival in Surrey! Our new friends from the world of philosophy, John Turner and Steven Brammell delved into the inner workings of the minds of teenagers using SciberBrain resources to get them thinking. Over a hundred pupils from schools across the county astounded their teachers with thoughtful questions and insightful observations. It really was a joy to behold!

Class discussion CPD workshop

During the summer, the creators of SciberBrain formed an alliance with Metathink (an independent provider of philosophical dialogue workshops) to come up with a new CPD workshop exploring concepts, values and beliefs in science. Our first free 2 day workshop was attended by 15 science teachers and outreach workers at the Science Learning Centre in London (25th & 26th August). Participants were extremely appreciative and feedback comments were amazing with 100% saying they enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend it to a friend! I think we can safely say we will be expanding in this area over the coming year :)
