What Newton Rooms are

Newton Rooms are dedicated learning spaces where young people can take part in practical STEM activities that complement the school curriculum. The model is based on a successful approach developed in Norway.

Where Newton Rooms are located

There will be 5 Newton Rooms across the Highlands:

  • Thurso – open
  • Fort William – open
  • Dingwall – under construction
  • Inverness – planned
  • West Highlands – planned

Each Newton Room is developed in partnership with local organisations to ensure it meets the needs of the community.
