Building the collections
The National STEM Centre is building the UK’s largest open collection of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classroom teaching resources to provide a treasure chest of inspiration for teachers and lecturers of STEM subjects.
Work with us to help build this valuable archive of resources. We are currently collecting influential resources published over the last forty years. Please contact us if you are looking for a home for STEM resources when tidying your office, school or library. You may have some of the few remaining copies of publications such as LAMP, ILEA Science in Process, Warwick Process Science and many other memorable materials.
Most resources will be digitised and made freely available online on the eLibrary, or stored in the physical collection in York.
We are also keen to see your own personal Tailor Made tried-and-tested resources and would be delighted to host them in the eLibrary where they can easily be shared with your colleagues. For more information on how to submit your resources to the eLibrary please see the relevant section below.
Physical library
We are always on the lookout for innovative teaching gadgets, that help enrich students' learning, and with visitors coming to the resource centre every day, there's no better place to showcase your products, please contact Andrew Jones with any suggestion of practical resources you would like to donate to the Centre.
We are also always grateful to receive:
- Contemporary print, multimedia, interactive and practical teaching materials
- Archive resources from recent decades, which we are happy to digitise for the eLibrary as explained above
eLibrary
For the eLibrary we are always grateful to receive:
- Contemporary print, multimedia, interactive and practical teaching materials
- Research publications with bearing on classroom practice
- Cross-curricular resources to aid innovative STEM teaching approaches
Teacher resources
Some of the most useful STEM teaching resources are those home-made, bespoke resources produced by STEM teachers themselves, and by uploading these to the eLibrary we can ensure best practice is shared around and ensure STEM teachers have the best tools at their disposal.
If you would be interested in having your resources made available on the eLibrary then please submit your materials to resources@nationalstemcentre.org.uk with a short description of what you have used them for, along with your contact details and a member of the eLibrary team will get back in touch with you. Thank you in advance for your contribution.
Together we can provide a legacy of STEM education materials to inspire future generations to come.
