Among other highlights, the 2022 Annual Impact Report demonstrates the continued success of our temporary STEM classrooms by showcasing the 11 locations the Mobile Newton Rooms visited in Europe last year.
The success of the newly opened Newton Room in Angers, France, is also documented in the report. There, local Newton Teachers conducted 62 module sessions featuring two Newton Modules: We Explore Energy! and Robots and Circumference, attracting 1066 student visitors from area schools and community centres throughout the year.
