Subject: [SCI-ED] Global STEAM Competition -- Free to Enter
Hi everyone,
First, let me make sure I emphasise that this is a non-commercial email.
I'm reaching out to all of you on behalf of an educational organisation, Forensic Outreach, which specialises in science-focused public engagement. In late February 2016, we are launching a free worldwide STEAM competition for schools (students aged 11 to 16) in partnership with Ward's Science (who are providing generous prizes). The competition is slated to involve nearly 2,000 schools.
The premise of the competition, which is based online, involves Leonardo da Vinci's real-life missing painting: The Battle of Anghiari.
Every week for three weeks, a teacher will download a challenge bundle. This bundle contains a lesson plan, worksheets and other resources required to deliver a 20-minute activity. A given group or classroom must work through the challenge provided and submit answers to questions accessible through a virtual classroom.
The competition is designed to encourage students to apply their knowledge of art history, science, mathematics and cryptanalysis to “solve” the mystery of the missing painting.
To register your interest to participate and to learn more, please head to: competition.forensicoutreach.com
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me directly at [log in to unmask].
Thanks for your time!
Best wishes,
Daniella
