The new Stonehenge Learning Centre, including development and delivery of an innovative 'STEM in Heritage' offer, aims to be a sector leader in heritage education and a pioneer in engaging learners with Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths within a heritage context.
Building on the success of the Discovery Visit programme at Stonehenge, the new STEM Heritage Learning programme represents a significant step-change in our offer, creating original and exciting opportunities for students to participate in innovative workshops and activities shaped in collaboration with teachers, academics and industry specialists, and informed by the proposed Stonehenge Learning Advisory Board.
To get the maximum benefit from the innovation of a heritage-based STEM programme, we seek to develop a new suite of curriculum-linked STEM in Heritage programmes, including both self- and expert-led workshops. We also plan to update and enhance the existing suite of learning programmes (DVs and FEVs) which are inspirational and sector-leading to maximise their potential to contribute to STEM learning.
English Heritage is looking to appoint a consultant to deliver the development and implementation of a suite of curriculum-linked STEM in Heritage programmes. For further details please see the specification within the tender documentation.
This tender is for the design, manufacture and installation of conservation grade mounts for the museum at Lindisfarne Priory. It includes all of the deliverables detailed in the ITT. Tenderers are strongly advised to review all of the documents listed under section 3 'Appendices', when submitting a quotation.
