Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum reaches finals of 2024 School Travel Awards

Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum’s science, technology, English and maths (STEM) learning activities have been recognised in the 2024 School Travel Awards.

The museum reached the finals in the Best Venue for STEM Learning category, presented in partnership with Experience Education, for the best interactive, engaging and exciting places delivering this important area of learning.

The annual School Travel Awards recognise inspiring people and the best companies, venues and attractions providing school trips.

Organised by School Travel Organiser magazine, this special initiative celebrates learning outside the classroom and raises the profile and importance of school visits.

The winners were announced at the 2024 Awards Lunch and Ceremony which took place on Friday 29th November at the five-star Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

School Travel Organiser publisher, Rob Yandell, who presented the ceremony along with Annabel Croft, said:

“Learning is one thing, but to really experience something you need to go beyond the school gates. We know that some still see school trips as an ‘add-on’ or an end of year treat. But the appreciation and awareness of how important learning outside the classroom is, and how it can impact young people, continues to grow.

“We are very proud to have created an awards initiative that supports this and allows the sector to celebrate and recognise the people, attractions and providers that make the magic happen.”
