Education Engagement
• Proposal put forward for activities that could be
made to break-even
• Because of loss of public funding these would be
reliant on partial sponsorship from businesses
• Continuing to offer Planetarium and Science Show
in the meantime
• STEMPOINT Northumberland contract ended March
2011. New contract holder to be sought for Tyne &
Wear/ Northumberland jointly.
Education Team
• 3 out of 4 staff in Education Team have left
• Last member is expected to leave September
• Administration support now from Wilton office
when necessary
• In discussion with potential handover of the
planetarium – to be decided with MSD
• Considering how to ensure other assets are
utilised for the benefit of schools and industry
Continuing Education Input
• Universities and others, such as A4e continue to
offer education engagement
• Chemistry Jamboree may be continued by
Newcastle/ Northumbria Universities
• CCI will continue whilst funded by members – due
for renewal in Summer! Wilton Site companies will
continue CCI for their area
• Hopefully NEPIC members will find ways to
continue to offer support to schools local to their
sites

us if we don’t make an effort to educate them!!
