Here are some examples of our current or recent projects:
The
PUPPETS Project
Talking Science, Engaging Science |
This project is funded by GlaxoSmithKline and is aimed at primary teachers across the UK. It is based on research funded by the Nuffield Foundation and carried out with Shirley Simon & Jane Maloney (IoE, London) and Brigid Downing (MMU). Through the project teachers have a unique opportunity to obtain puppets, stories and professional development at low cost. The project runs from September 2006 until July 2009.

| BA CREST Star Investigators Award |
Millgate House has been commissioned by the British Association (the BA) to restructure and rewrite its young people’s CREST programme. The programme targets children in out of school hours learning, such as Science Clubs. We are working with a team of writers (Jayne Barnes, Tanya Shields, Nicky Waller, Sue Wright) to create engaging activities that young people will enjoy and that will help them to learn science.
The project was launched successfully in September 2007. Initial reactions from both adults and children are highly positive.
