STEM sessions (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) lasting 90 minutes are designed to:

  • promote scientific enquiry and technological thinking
  • encourage collaboration
  • nourish curiosity and a sense of wonder
  • provide engaging hands-on experiences
  • foster effective communication
 
During  STEM sessions, passers-by may notice children:

  • considering how to build the highest structure using just plastic cups and pop sticks
  • working out how to make simple electrical circuits using aluminium foil, batteries and light bulbs
  • observing, describing and explaining how sultanas move in fizzy water
  • sketching the Eiffel Tower and reflecting on the challenges faced by engineers  -- then and now – who plan to build the highest structures
