Welsh Government is seeking to procure external support for the development and delivery of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Global Teaching Labs (GTL) project in Wales. This project seeks to raise the profile of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects in schools in Wales and to provide additional support in the delivery of STEM education across Wales through collaborative innovation.
