KS3 – KS4 STEM Challenges

KS3 – KS4 STEM Challenges are real life issues. That’s why teenagers find them engaging.

There are 2 different ways to run a Challenge day.

Either A year group of up to 60 pupils work in teams to overcome 3 very different challenges in a day.

Or we can run one challenge for 3 different groups of 60 pupils.

If you have a large cohort of pupils you can book as many workshop leaders and each will work with a group of 60 pupils.

Teams will have to innovate, experiment and manage their budgets too, to win the challenges.

We can timetable in a careers talk, making our STEM Challenge days a practical and fun introduction to STEM careers.
