How does it work?
We provide you with a set of printable resources and guidance notes to run your day, enabling you to bring science, design and technology, engineering and maths (STEM) together in an engaging way.
Your students will learn key STEM skills and knowledge, as well as developing their problem solving, team working and communication skills.
There are currently three different challenges to choose from and we provide all the resources you need to run one in your own school or with teams invited from other local schools.
