On Thursday 23 May 2019, Earthwatch Institute is delivering a Discover Earth Hub Day (13.00-16:00). The session will take place in north Solihull at the Tudor Grange Academy Kingshurst site, using their outdoor education centre, including their pond zone. The address is TGA Kingshurst, Cooks Lane, Birmingham, B37 6NU.

The afternoon will be an engaging CPD training opportunity offering the tools and resources which make it easy for all teachers and educators to take learning outside and enable their students to participate in valuable citizen science.
