Event description

Inspire our students with a workplace visit as part of our Maths Week Scotland event which is running from 30th September to 6th October '19

We would be extremely grateful if you were free to come along to our Maths Week Scotland event which will be running from 30th September to 6th October '19 from P1 - P7. If you were able to do a short talk to explain to a group or class of children how you use Maths in your workplace that would be amazing! We would be very happy to accommodate you for any day or time that would suit you during the course of Maths Week Scotland. If you have a year group that you think would be more suitable for your visit just let me know.

Some advice from Founders4schools:
Workplace Visits enable students to visit places of work in their local area, experience the work environment and have meaningful interactions with employees.

Workplace visits are an exciting way for students to gain insight into the world of work, feel inspired by dynamic working environments and imagine themselves in the working world. Workplace visits are also an excellent opportunity for a business to help inspire the future workforce and begin to build a stronger talent pipeline.

We suggest the following format for the visit, as it is researched-based and proven to have impact:
• Introduction by the business leader or host, including career history
• Introduction to the company and how Maths or STEM is important to your chosen career.
• Closing remarks
