Science Council Hidden Science Map -an opportunity to come out of hiding!

摘要

The official launch of the Hidden Science Map took place at the Metrocentre in Gateshead on 23 May. The children of Year 6 (11-year-olds) from Richardson Dees Primary School in Wallsend first studied the map for a scientist of interest to them, then created a map pin for them using a bit of science research and some nifty needlework. The STEM Careers Panel from the Map and from the Metrocentre dressed up in their best science outfits and went shopping, to prove that (although you wouldn't know it) science people are all round you and really are doing pretty normal things too. The images gathered from the event will also help to inspire more 'high street' scientists to put their profile on the map. The Map now has almost 1,000 profiles, the largest collection of scientist and engineer, technologists and maths people and organisations in the UK, and will continue to aim for a target of 5,000 profiles.
