Fire up the young Einsteins - e-Science Projects in the News
Interact & IDEAs educational e-Science projects feature in Times Higher ICT supplement (20/10/2006). Olga Wojtas reports on how successful uses of e-Science can benefit both pupils and researchers and bring the "wow" factor back to school science.
Our public understanding project involved school children in live chat with scientists in the Antarctic and the SENSE project had young learners collecting and reflecting on local pollution data using sophisticated handheld sensors and advanced software tools.
Work is now needed to make GRID technology more usable and e-Science more accessible to schools (see e-Science in and Beyond the Classroom: Usability, Practicability and Sensability at e-Science '06). Keep an eye on our 2007 "Towards making GRID-enabled schools' eScience usable and useful" project here.
