Even when open, the programme's own eligibility wording excludes trips with educational or curriculum-based objectives and is restricted to a recreational day trip or short residential trip for children aged 13 or under, which does not fit a bought-in in-school STEM workshop. The funder also says its budget has been spent, with no reopening date stated.
