Growing STEM The project’s aim is to give young parents the skills and tools to facilitate learning outside and at home with their children with a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) and the fundamentals around growing your own food and healthy eating. Working across five centres in Chichester, Selsey, Midhurst, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis the project will engage parents and their toddlers over two workshops where the families will have the chance to take part in practical activities both in the centres and in the green space around the centres. Working alongside Dr Debs Wilkinson in Education the two sessions will combine play and exploration for both parent and child in order to achieve our aim.
