from across the local scheme area. They have been designed to support the teaching and learning of STEM based subjects and help cultivate ambition.
Councillor Paul Garner, spokesperson for Economic Development said: “As part of the GFPS STEM Education Programme, free resources have been designed to
support the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

In September, teachers from Grangemouth High School will be using the full suite of materials to run a whole year group interdisciplinary STEM day to help broaden
their S2 pupils’ career horizons before they make their subject choices later in the year.
The GFPS STEM Education Programme, developed by consultants Jacobs in conjunction with Falkirk Council’s Children’s Services, aims to bridge the gap between school, higher education, and industry by helping to equip young people with the skills required to adapt and thrive in this fast-paced, ever-changing world.
