STEM Challenges
The STEM Challenges programme was originally inspired by London 2012 and aimed to provide students, aged 11-14 years, with an opportunity to use their STEM skills and help provide a real-life context for these skills. The original STEM Challenge resource packs have now been adapted, to remove the London 2012 theme, so they can continue to remain relevant and useful to schools. Each STEM Challenge is designed to take six to eight weeks and is an ideal activity to carry out in a STEM Club environment. The resources are also flexible enough to be used as part of normal school lessons.
