Shell Hosts Fortnight of Science Fun for Fife School Children
Almost two thousand school children from across the Kingdom's primary schools are currently enjoying investigating and exploring science during a fortnight of fun run by the Shell Education Service.
The two weeks of science fun began on the 3rd of May and will end on the 15th of May with the annual Family Day at St Colme House. The Family Day is open to everyone in Fife and gives families an opportunity to try out practical science activities together from 11am until 4pm.
Alex Baird, Plant Installation Manager at Shell U.K. Limited's Fife NGL Plant, said, "Getting children interested and enjoying science at an early age is very important. If the current and future challenges, like sustainable energy, are to be dealt with then encouraging children to participate in science subjects, and them take that interest into further and higher education, is key and is what the Shell Education Service aims to do."
Shell Education Service provides a series of unique, interactive physical science workshops to 50,000 young children a year throughout the UK. Shell has supported this programme for over 50 years, listening to teachers and moving from providing books and posters to today's hands-on expertise.
