STEM (After School Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Club)

   

We have been successful in securing funding for an after school Science Club. There is a national focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) in order to encourage young people to engage in these areas to address the skills shortage in these industries.

 STEM Club

Since September we have been running a STEM club which takes place after school for our year 7, 8 and 9 students.  Each half term has a theme and practical activities take place over a 3-4 week period. The themes this year are listed below :
  • The Chemistry of Looking & Smelling Good (designing & making soap, bath bombs, deodorant etc)
  • Electronics & Engineering (various design challenges linked to engineering)
  • The Science of Roller Coasters (building model roller coasters to meet a design brief)
  • Jelly Challenge (using jelly and other foods to plan and create towers)
  • Designing & Casting Pewter Keyrings (designing and making moulds and casting pewter to make a key ring)
  • Living Things in the School Grounds (using the BCS Biozone to investigate the ecology in school)
