Science and STEM CPD

KS3 student climate change summit

Following our successful event in June 2022, we will again be hosting a summit in June 2023

The Hertfordshire and Essex SLP are excited to offer schools the opportunity to attend our KS3 Climate change student summit in partnership with University of Hertfordshire and STEMPOINT East.

The summit will bring together local and national partners from across the education, research and the wider STEM sectors to enhance teacher and student understanding of the science and implications of climate change. The aim of the summit is to highlight to young people and their teachers the challenges we face but also focus on what possible solutions there are and new future technologies that can help.

When: 13 June 2023, 09:00 - 15:30

Where: University of Hertfordshire, de Havilland campus, Hatfield AL10 9EU

£50 to secure a teacher place, up to 10 students can accompany the teacher
