Children in primary school have a natural curiosity for science and technology. However, many of their teachers lack initial training or are uncomfortable with science subjects and handson demonstrations. …What is taught is often disconnected from cutting edge science and from today’s applications of
science and technology (S&T) and tends to dampen the interest acquired at a younger age.
