The proposal is to establish an out-of-school learning centre with links to schools in the area and beyond. The project involves three sites: a hub and two satellites. The hub will be located at a Site of Special Scientific Interest, allowing the opportunity to explore seven distinct local habitats, a variety of conservation issues and the area's Stone Age and Iron Age archaeological inheritance. The satellites will be constructed at two schools which have been prioritised for increased accommodation and there will be electronic links to all secondary schools in the South West Grid for Learning. Advanced technology connecting to remote centres from the Scottish glens to the Galapagos Islands, will include stereoscopic cameras, enabling students to conduct and record field studies remotely in three dimensions.
