Greenpower Education Trust
The Greenpower Education Trust is a charitable organization, whose objective is to inspire more young people to become engineers by presenting the engineering industry as an interesting and relevant career choice which could help to solve problems relating to the personal, social and emotional development (known in Britain as PSED) of individuals and societies. The main idea is for teams of students between the ages of 9 and 25 to design, build, and race their own electric powered race cars on top racing circuits such as Goodwood. History The trust originated from a study by Sussex Chamber of Commerce in 1998 which considered the needs of engineering companies in that region. The investigation revealed low levels of interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (the so-called STEM school subjects). The Greenpower project started in 1999 to encourage students to design, build and race their own electric race cars within professionally drafted specifications and ...

Over the years it has been broadcast on BBC Scotland, BBC One Scotland, BBC Two Scotland and Britbox. History ''Beechgrove'' is a gardening programme, which started on 14 April 1978. It was inspired by the garden behind the home of WGBH in Boston, Massachusetts, named the Victory Garden. The original plot of land used was the small area of garden attached to the BBC studios in Beechgrove Terrace, Aberdeen.

Aberfeldy Town Hall
Aberfeldy Town Hall is a municipal building on Crieff Road in Aberfeldy, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The structure, which is used as an events venue, is Category B listed. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the tourism industry, the area became a police burgh in 1887. In this context, the new police commissioners decided to procure a town hall: the site they selected was the former site of the Black House, the original home of the Menzies of Weem, who arrived from Nithsdale around the 14th century. The site was donated to the town by Gavin Campbell, 1st Marquess of Breadalbane in 1887. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the local member of parliament, Sir Donald Currie, on 21 September 1889. It was designed in free style by James MacLaren, a London-based architect who was born in Callander; it was built in brick with a harled finish and was officially opened on 5 December 1891. The structure incorporated elements of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

English-medium Education
An English-medium education system is one that uses English as the primary medium of instruction—particularly where English is not the mother tongue of the students. Initially this is associated with the expansion of English from its homeland in England and the lowlands of Scotland and its spread to the rest of Great Britain and Ireland, beginning in the sixteenth century. The rise of the British Empire increased the language's spread to British colonies and in many of these it has remained the Medium of instruction, medium of education. The increased economic and cultural influence of the United States since World War II has also furthered the global spread of English, as has the rapid spread of Internet and other technologies. As a result of this, in many states throughout the world where English is not the predominant language there are English-medium schools. Also in higher education, due to the recent trend towards Internationalization of higher education, internationalizati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
