Also, BP have sponsored a new exhibition at the Science Museum called 'Energy - fuelling the future' (www.sciencemuseum.org.uk) We'd like to produce some resources to counter the increased (oil) corporatisation of education, so let us know if you'd like to know more. Look out also for our upcoming article in Mute magazine.

This Tuesday September 21st, teachers attended a reception to introduce them to the exhibition, and we were there to leaflet and chat to them.
