Teachers and science educators have the exceptional role of inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers, whilst enabling young people to acquire the skills needed for our future work force.
The ARTEMIS range of resources and toolkits have been developed over a ten year period to support the teaching of STEM subjects whilst incorporating creativity and art to engage the wider community (parents, key stakeholders, adult learners etc.). The resources are inquiry, hands-on based activities which allow users to undertake real time research, participate in citizen science experiments, experience fun, inspirational demonstrations of cutting edge technology and act as mission members for future space programmes.
The resources have been developed and written by teachers who have tried and tested the resources in over 30 countries worldwide since the launch of the boxes in 2009 during the UN declared International Year of Astronomy. We listened to what kids wanted from their lessons and science clubs and worked with science centres and museums to incorporate fun, inspirational materials which teachers, educators and parents can deliver, ensuring young people and adult users will gain personal skills and capabilities to ensure a science knowledge society.
Here you can find a list of our resources and toolkits, from our infamous Earthboxes to toolkits for building Nano-satellites and support resources for sustainable development, the universe is all here in a box!
Resource Boxes and Toolkits:
Exploration! Investigation! Archaeology Resource Kit
The Exploration! Investigation! box is an Archaeology themed resource which acts as a toolkit for teachers, students, science clubs, citizen science projects and outside the classroom learning. The box can be used as a resource tool for supporting cross-curricula themes from History, Geography, Science, Design and Technology, through to creative ways of incorporating maths and literacy. The activities are hands-on, minds-on inquiry based investigation. Read more…
