"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." Charles Darwin
".... 160 years ago, and even in the 1990s, children would have turned up expecting to be told where to stand and what to do next. Their counterparts today and tomorrow will be much more challenging and inquisitive - if we let them. In a galactic museum of the future, they will contrast marvellously with their silent predecessors."
Sean McDougall's idea is being developed by the whole school working collaboratively with him and Futurelab.
