Royal Institution Grant scheme for enriching STEM teaching

Of interest to STEM teachers and their schools:
I would be really grateful if you could spread the word about the Royal Institution's STEM grant scheme (details below) to organisations and individuals who have contact with schools.

For those of you who don't know, the STEM Directories are an online catalogue of activities that enhance the teaching of science, engineering and maths in UK schools. The Directories are managed by the Royal Institution.

If you are a provider of a STEM activity then we encourage you to register on the Directories<http://www.stemdirectories.org.uk/providers/> so that schools can search for you.

Thanks a lot,
Andrew
