<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>

Children’s University Scotland</a> – a charity that works
with partners to inspire children to take part in learning

The Curiosity Box</a> to provide a 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.
