Description
The SunSpaceArt project, funded by STFC, comprises a team of scientists and artists. Over the past six years, we have run cross-curriculum (science, art, literacy) STEAM (STEM+Arts) workshops at hundreds of primary schools across the UK, especially those most in need of science enrichment. We have also run ‘drop-in’ activities for families at Science Festivals. These activities reinforce science learning, ignite curiosity and develop creativity. The feedback has been extremely positive. We encourage other solar outreach providers across Europe to explore possibilities for working more closely with the Arts.
