We were approached at the beginning of this year by a school who had recently received a grant and who wanted to spend the money on a project which could be used to teach the children about the environment and sustainability and ideally some STEM based curriculum learning too.

Video for Renewable Energy Mix Eco Outdoor Classroom We have just finished the installation of a new eco hub outdoor classroom building for Coddington Primary School in Nottinghamshire.
