Fellowship focus: Engaging schools in STEM education through the Heat-Cool project, which teaches children about the links between heat and climate change impacts in cities through technology-enabled sessions.
Against a background of declining interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) education in schools throughout industrialised nations, Associate Professor Pfautsch will bring his specialist knowledge of urban heat to GCARE. He will collaborate with Professor Kumar to further develop the Centre’s Heat-Cool project – which helps school pupils to understand the relationship between heat and climate change impacts in cities through technology-enabled sessions – as well as delivering a public lecture on the subject.
