Have a go at two print and play maths challenges where learners are set the challenge to find a secret code. Each challenge requires learners to work through a set of problems resulting in a 4-digit number. Each challenge comes with leader/teacher instructions, learner instructions, and materials to complete the challenge.
STEM Ambassadors volunteer their time to engage with young people in and out of the classroom. These valuable opportunities are free to access.
Inviting a STEM Ambassador into your school, classroom or online is free and supports and empowers you, as well as your class. Find out how to request a visit via the link below.
You don’t need to be a scientist to take part in real research. Citizen science projects welcome people of all ages to help by counting, observing, measuring, and recording what they see around them. Here are a few inspiring ways you can get involved this year.
