Definitive collection of teaching resources coming to the National Science Learning Centre (SLC) in York

In March the Government announced a £5 million extension to the National Science Learning Centre (SLC) in York designed to allow science teachers and lecturers access to a definitive collection of science, technology engineering and maths (STEM) teaching resources. The new national STEM Resource Centre will be funded for five years by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).  

The Centre will collect together in one place all the government, learned society, charitable foundation and commercial STEM curriculum support resources published over the past 25 years. In addition to the construction of the Centre in York, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009, teachers will be able to access many of the resources via a related website.
