We are bringing live field science to educators at the Association of Science Education (ASE) Conference 2020 at the University of Reading. Europe’s largest Science Education Conference will return this year to deliver high quality CPD programmes for everyone involved in science teaching and learning. We are conducting 360 VR and introducing our top rated free science resources to delegates at stand ES20 next to the ASE Book Sales. In addition to that, join our Executive director and expedition leader, Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop as he delivers these keynote sessions and demonstrations:
