Great news!We are ready to launch Phase2 of the v.successful Career Mathways project.We’re currently recruiting schools to participate in Phase2, involving more STEM Ambassadors & more teacher & learning resources. If interested in partaking send a DM or email Niamh.omeara@ul.ie
šŸ“£New publicationšŸ“—Career Mathways is one of my favourite projects to work on with @DrOFitzmaurice & @DrPaddyJohnson.In this paper we report how it impacts on students’ attitudes towards maths.We found the initiative had a positive influence on students appreciation of maths!
