<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>It will make it easier for all if you just send me your budget
code(s) and the amount(s) you wish to be transferred for the
purchase of the Curiosity Boxes for disadvantaged children. This
is a great opportunity for us to engage with these children and
help get them into STEM and Physics in particular.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Brian.<br>

<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>Please see below requests for an excellent cause - I will be
donating £100 from a special fund to help the next generation of
scientists. If you would like to also donate in a similar way
from any underspent accounts with a bit spare cash or a special
fund, can you please make an internal transfer through FMS to
the Children’s University budget code: 17567 GEN2029-103</p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>
<p>Brian<br>

set of fun and inspirational STEM learning activities neatly
packed into a letterbox sized box. These boxes are
carefully designed to include everything that a child needs
to undertake the activity – no requirement to find
additional resources at home or for parents/carers to
purchase them. We want to eliminate any potential barriers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Covid-19 pandemic is having a
negative effect on the children who are already suffering
the most and we can make a difference and help tackle the
attainment gap. By targeting those schools and pupils who
are most disadvantaged, these Curiosity Boxes could provide
the spark in a child which fosters their love of science,
engineering, technology, business etc and make them the
Strathclyde students of the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to achieve our aim we need
funding and are seeking your support in the form of a
financial contribution. This contribution can be any amount
– there is no minimum or maximum amount and your support
could help to buy a Curiosity Box for one child or 100s of
children. Please get in touch if you have any spare funding
that we could put to use – any underspend as a result of
event cancellations, knowledge exchange or public engagement
funding, covid-19 related grants,…. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We aim to distribute the first set of
boxes in September, with the potential to tailor future
boxes to particular disciplines following evaluation. Even
if you are not in a position to offer financial support at
the moment, please let us know if you would be interested in
working with us on future boxes related to your particular
subject area. <o:p></o:p></p>
