STEM in Secondary schools


Secondary school projects
All of our projects have been designed to bring real world applications of STEM subjects to the classroom. We know how important it is to spark and maintain a students interest through fun, hands on activities, all aligned to the curriculum.
Thanks to our amazing funders, our STEM days are normally offered free to state schools in the UK. We also offer these days on a paid for basis to any school. Our secondary school days encourage young people to consider the possibilities of a career in engineering and help them to build life and leadership skills in line with the Skills Builder partnership.
