STEM Discovery Trail
We have created a STEM Discovery Trail for you and your pupils when you visit Glasgow Science Centre to enhance the learning experience at five of our exhibits. We have created videos for you to watch in class to get your pupils thinking. When you visit Glasgow Science Centre, you can try the exhibits out for yourselves and see what you can discover.
