The National STEM Centre is keen to find out how schools are supporting their students to think about their future jobs and careers and their awareness of STEM careers in particular.
We are conducting an online survey which is part of a research project that is exploring this issue.
The aim of the research is to identify which factors shape senior leadership team decisions with regards to STEM…

Educational resources to enrich your visit to The Big Bang Fair
Posted by Admin on 11th March 2013
The Big Bang Fair provides a wealth of interactive stand activities and live theatre shows which aim to highlight the exciting future that a background in science, technology, engineering and mathematics can provide for young people.
To help you get the most out of your visit to The Big Bang Fair, the National STEM Centre has developed packages of resources to support teachers in building students' understanding of themes at The Fair before the event, and to consolidate their learning afterwards.
These resource lists contain selected resources from the Centre's eLibrary and across the web, which link closely to the activities that students can experience at The Fair. The lists will support your planning for the event, and enrich the experience for your students.
You can view the resources lists at www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk/big-bang
The National STEM Centre will also have an exhibition stand at The Fair in the Educational Resources area by the Careers Hub.
We hope that you enjoy using these resources as part of your visit to The Big Bang Fair 2013.

The Salters’ Institute will be holding 14 Salters’ Chemistry Camps between June and July 2013. These are 3-day residential events held at Universities throughout the UK. Sixty students participate at each Camp.
Participants at each Camp will experience hands-on practical Chemistry in University labs, lively chemical demonstrations and a taste of life in the University Halls of Residence,…
STEM Directories grants for schools
Posted by Admin on 7th March 2013
The STEM Directories provide information about ways to support and extend your science, engineering, design and mathematics teaching. Some schemes bring exciting activities into your school, others can provide a memorable day out for your students or a nationwide competition to help motivate your science club. They might involve bringing a real scientist, engineer or mathematician into the classroom,…
