Our aim is to inspire and engage students with an early opportunity to improve their knowledge and understanding of STEM, engage with local employers and develop work-related skills.
STEM Career Days
Our in-school STEM Career Day is a full-day ‘off timetable’ for a whole year group, suitable for year 7, 8 or 9 students:
- Challenge Day – choose from one of our themed challenges for a whole day of activities. This could be either Engineering day, or Space Day, or Life Sciences Day. Students work in groups on a practical problem-solving activity. Groups are mentored by business volunteers and present their results at the end of the day.
- Carousel Programme of 4–5 different interactive workshops (eg Engineering, Space, or Life Sciences) delivered by business volunteers. Workshops include a practical activity and relate to a STEM topic or skill.
STEM Career Days pricing: £450+VAT (including 2-3 members of staff).
