The online learning resources are available to all schools across Scotland who request access from the college, and so far, more than 50 schools have signed up to benefit from Forth Valley College’s online resources.

Mhairi Hay, director of curriculum for engineering and science, said: “We can’t thank SP Energy Networks enough for the very generous grant we received. It has allowed us to support teachers and students during these unprecedented times with STEM home learning.

"We are confident this training will help inspire and encourage the next generation of STEM professionals in Scotland.”
