Description:
MOTIVATE is a real-time videoconferencing project for schools, providing maths, science and cross-curricular videoconferences and linked projects for students of all ages (5-19) both in the UK and internationally.
Secondary students find out what professional mathematicians and scientists do, and how their work is used in the real world.
Younger children take part in interactive videoconferences, with activities based across the curriculum.
