Designed to be used within timetabled lessons, or in after-school STEM clubs, there’s something to suit every school. Hands-on tasks and challenges provide real-world context and urgency to learning and enable pupils to bring together cross-curricular knowledge in science, maths and design & technology. See it in action Chat to our team Creating problem-solvers STEM education is about preparing for what’s next; presenting relevant problems the next generation will have to solve. With the enquiry process at the heart of STEM Connect, each unit is structured to encourage pupils to: Ask questions to understand the precise nature of the presented challenge Plan how to conduct investigations to build knowledge and check assumptions Design solutions, iterate and evaluate their effectiveness Preparing for future careers STEM Connect uses relatable scenarios that bring out pupils’ creativity whilst guiding them to develop and apply their knowledge and skills to important real-world challenges. These challenges also shed light on future STEM careers, inspiring pupils to see where their education can take them. Rachael Coulthard St Nicholas Primary School, Hertfordshire "The links to the UN Goals and everyday STEM careers are really fantastic because I believe it’s more important now than ever before that we relate what we are teaching in the classroom to the real world. The clear and uncluttered layout makes it easy to pick and choose what you are going to use (and to find it again quickly!) and to adapt for your own class or context." STEM made simple Real-world global challenges STEM Connect pushes pupils to solve complex, global challenges that face society today and tomorrow, and to show how they can make an impact in addressing these challenges themselves – even from a young age. Career connections STEM Connect provides pupils with opportunities to learn about diverse STEM careers in context and connects the skills they are using to real work happening around the world. Connect learning across the curriculum Connect asks pupils to draw on their existing subject knowledge across the curriculum and apply it to some of the world’s most challenging problems. Flexible framework Whether you’re supplementing your curriculum timetable or want to supercharge your STEM club, STEM Connect resources can be used flexibly depending on the time available to you. Challenges can be completed in one go or extended for a longer, multi-session project. Hands-on experience Hands-on challenges are at the heart of STEM Connect and have been designed to be completed without any special equipment, using common items that schools should be able to source easily. Detailed teacher guidance Unit overviews and detailed notes mean teachers can just “pick up and go,” whatever their level of familiarity with the topics being covered.
