If you have any favourite STEM resources that support the cultivation of EHoM, send us the details so we can add them to this site.
A new practical guide to encourage business to work more closely with schools and colleges to develop STEM skills in young people has been published by the Royal Society and the CBI. See Making Education Your Business.
The Royal Academy has produced resources supporting teaching and learning through the curriculum, mostly at Key Stage 3, and also for STEM clubs or classroom enrichment.
For a wide range of resources, including the following, written by our STEM project adviser Professor Adrian Oldknow:
Learning to code – with a purpose

WISE launched a new pack called ‘People like me’ aimed at encouraging more girls to continue with STEM subjects into the post-16 education.
WISE have recently added new sectors to this resource, featuring case studies from Tech, Electronics and Physics which are now available on the website to download. Training and teaching resources are available for teachers and STEM Ambassadors, together with an interactive app for girls.
