What its position is on the value of the educational services that the Institute of Physics and Lab in a Lorry provide to young students.

The Institute of Physics'' Lab in a Lorry project is one of a number of initiatives that takes inspiring science activities to schools around Scotland. It plays a useful role in supporting the formal teaching of science in our secondary schools, and gives young people access to information about careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (the STEM subjects). The Institute of Physics has been awarded annual funding since 2007 for Lab in a Lorry, through the Scottish Government''s Science Engagement Grants scheme. A further award of £25,000 for the project was announced through a Scottish Government news release issued on 26 April 2010. This grant, for activity in the 2010-11 financial year, will support Lab in a Lorry visiting 70 secondary schools across Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands, and science centres in Glasgow and Dundee. The project will reach an expected audience of 16,000 people.
