Science Skills Academy tops the class with Highland pupils
New opportunity for industry to inspire young minds and develop a local pipeline of STEM skills for future growth.
An innovative project introducing the world of science and technology to Highland primary and secondary pupils is celebrating a significant milestone, exceeding 20,000 engagements with pupils, teachers and parents.
Over the past four years the Science Skills Academy (SSA) has been at the forefront of empowering young minds and bridging the gap between education and industry needs. Currently operating in Highland, SSA has worked with 98% of local schools across its vast geographical area. It provides a new way of learning, getting 10-14 year-olds out of the classroom and into specially designed Newton Rooms to explore STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.
