Scottish physics teachers see science at work at Micron Europe Limited's plant in East Kilbride.

"The teachers are very enthusiastic about the systems and techniques demonstrated by Micron," said Mr. George Scott, Production Manager of the Micron Europe facility. "It was a pleasure for us to enable this session. We value their ability to inspire young students to follow a career in science, which is essential to the future of our technology-based industry."

Commenting on the day the teachers' group leader Mr. Gregor Steele said, "This was one of the best-received events that has been run for physics teachers. It was very interesting to see how science is utilised in commercial industry, and we also appreciated how easy it was to talk with the Micron people about technology integration."

The event is one of a series of increasing engagements the company has with South Lanarkshire Council as part of its "Enterprise in Education" program. The series is enabled by the "Teachers at Micron" initiative, part of the Company's "K-12" program to support maths and science in pre-university education.
