STEMNET Ambassadors are recruiting, and are particularly looking for postgrads or postdocs in the life sciences to help support STEM education in schools. Becoming a STEM Ambassador is easy and involves a free training session and CRB check through the organisers, and a minimum commitment of only one school visit per year. Our local STEMPOINT is run by Graphic Science - check their website or contact Claire Dimond for more information.
Discover 2010 (previously Science Alive!), our hands-on festival showcasing research at Bristol - sciences, arts and humanities, social sciences - will take place in The Mall Galleries from 11-13 March 2010, with other associated events. Contact Dane Comerford: dane.comerford@bristol.ac.uk to talk about ideas or possible contributions.

The Royal Society - Partnership Grants (UK)
The Royal Society's Partnership Grants Scheme will re-open for applications in spring 2010. Under its Partnership Grants Scheme, the Royal Society provides grants of up to £3,000 to support teachers, scientists and engineers help develop science projects that make the teaching of science more interesting within primary and secondary schools. Any UK primary or secondary school teacher or practising scientist/engineer can apply as long as the students involved in the project are between 5 and 18.
The Art of Science is a competition where research images become pieces of art. The competition winners will be on display in the At-Bristol Cafe from 7 December 2009 to 18 January 2010. The Cafe is open from 10am each day. For further information about the competition contact Becky Jones, or see the website.
