Overview
STEM teaching and learning resources
The National STEM Centre houses the UK's largest accessible physical library of resource materials to support the teaching and learning of science, design & technology, engineering and mathematics.
The collections range across materials for the 5 - 19 age group. Alongside contemporary resource materials including print, multimedia, and practical resources, is a growing archive collection, which showcases several decades of curriculum development.
The collections are currently available for visitors to view onsite. During 2010 we will be making a number of collections available online, through our eLibrary. You may also search the physical library catalogue.
More information for visitors to the physical library collections can be found in the PDFon the left-hand side of this page.
Facilitating STEM education collaboration
As part of our support for the government's STEM Programme, the National STEM Centre:
- Leads the government's STEM Programme, bringing together business, industry, charitable organisations, professional bodies and others with an interest in STEM education to facilitate closer collaboration and more effective support for schools and colleges.
- Provides on-site facilities for STEM partners to support their work with schools and colleges (including meeting rooms, event support, and hot-desking space). These facilities are available to our STEM Associates (partner organisations, schools and colleges).
