We're pleased to announce a partnership with Cowbridge School for the GeoVoyager project, made possible by a STEM Partnership Grant from The Royal Society.
GeoVoyager is a joint initiative to develop an online 3D geological database utilising our expertise in photogrammetry and laser scanning technologies. The project aims to enhance the educational experience of A-level Geology students at Cowbridge School by providing them with interactive digital exhibits that showcase geological structures and fossils, including potential tsunami evidence along the Bristol Channel.
The fieldwork for this project will be conducted at Dunraven Bay in Southerndown on the South Wales Heritage Coast, to transform student engagement with geology. Our efforts are directed towards increasing accessibility to the subject, allowing for virtual geological field trips that accommodate all students, including those with physical disabilities.
Mike Walsh, a Geology teacher at Cowbridge School, supports our mission: "The project bridges the gap between education and innovation, equipping students with real-world science skills."
Under the guidance of Year 12 students, GeoVoyager is an educational initiative that also serves as a conduit to higher education and careers in geology. The project integrates fieldwork with the existing curriculum, providing students with a practical science experience.
Nick Russill, our co-founder and former Royal Society Entrepreneur in Residence at University of Exeter, comments on collaborating with the Royal Society and expresses his commitment to inspiring the next generation of scientists through the GeoVoyager project.
GeoVoyager represents our dedication to inclusivity and educational equity, democratising access to geology and ensuring every student can explore and learn, irrespective of physical limitations.
