If you like our STEM activities and want to try a few of our free, career-related games and activities, visit our Look at me now campaign page. For children, toys and imagination represent a world of possibilities and invention. For engineers and scientists, the possibilities and invention never end. They are proof that our toys and dreams today impact our innovations tomorrow. The child who loved LEGO now designs buildings. The child with the telescope is now an astronaut. And, the child who dreamed of being a magician is now an electronics engineer, changing the world through technology. Take a look at our stories and download the free activities.

Virtual Faraday Challenge

Due to the current circumstances we have adapted this year’s Faraday Challenge developed in partnership with Airbus to bring you our first Virtual Faraday Challenge! The Virtual Faraday Challenge challenges young people to see if they can assist the work of Airbus in helping people around the world in times of need and work in the way engineers do in designing a new product. Open for anyone between 7 to 15 years, young people can do this at home, in school, individually or as a group or family. The best entries will receive a prize and may even feature on our website.

Video teaching resources

We are working with STEM ambassadors, IET Education Officers, teachers and parents to bring you a range of videos that you can watch at home with your children showing you how to create some fantastic STEM experiments using everyday items found at home or simply refresh your memory on some popular lesson topics!
