STEM Careers Resources for Science Museums Launches

The Midlands and East Anglia region of the National HE STEM Programme have, in partnership with the National Space Academy created ways of helping young people, their parents, carers and educations make key subject choice decisions. The first of its kind in a UK Science and Discovery Centre this new exhibit uses tomorrow’s technology.

On a multi-user, multi-touch table visitors will be able to simultaneously explore 32 different pieces of information, in different mediums, to create a personalised experience of what career opportunities studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects can offer. A showcase of dynamic STEM role models from all walks of life, relate their personal experiences of school, higher education and into the workforce. Users can share the information with friends or family across the table or package it for reference at home/school later.

In addition, by using cutting edge augmented reality and the University of Birmingham’s ‘Look Deeper’ app they will be able to explore information about the role models on their iPhone or iPad on the move, share with friends, parents, teachers.
