Royal Air Force STEM resources
A collection of STEM resources from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Youth and STEM programme. Included are a selection of resources demonstrating how the RAF use technology to aid them in search and rescue operations and how the natural world inspires engineers to develop new products and designs.
The RAF Youth and STEM team run a national programme of STEM engagement that includes in-school STEM days, multi-activity days, competitions, residential courses and the development of downloadable learning resources.

RAF Code Commanders - cosmic launch project
This activity is a space-themed coding project for learners, combining six to ten hours of STEM linked learning. These lessons use Scratch game creation to explore space and interplanetary missions.
Biomimicry
This resource looks at how biomimicry enables engineers to take ideas from the natural world to develop new products and designs. The specific example of gecko tape is used to illustrate this. Students play a game of pairs where they need to match technology with the animal or plant which inspired its development....
Expedition
This resource is based on Felicity Ashton’s expedition to Antarctica. Felicity was the first person to ski across Antarctica using only muscle power and the first women to cross Antarctica alone.
Students are introduced to the technologies that are used on expeditions to dangerous and remote locations,...
Search and Rescue
This resource puts students in charge of an RAF search and rescue operation in the UK. To do this, they are provided with support and advice from a number of experts at different points during the rescue. They work as a team to discuss this advice and choose the best course of action, justifying the reasons for...
