September 2008 | Creative Exploration Lab

This Lab took place in Belfast, with lecturers from Queen Mary’s and teachers from three schools in Belfast, Renfrew and Swansea, all involved in the Leonardo Effect project.

Over two days, along with musician Eugene Skeef and poet Helen Clare, everyone took part in activities designed to stretch their imaginations and to refresh their own individual and group patterns of creative thinking. They explored new ways of building on the success of the Leonardo project and considered what needs to be in place to make science-art collaborations work well in the classroom.
