STEM and EHoM Resources 

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.

 

 

Royal Academy of Engineering

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.
