The purpose of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Mapping Review, published by the Department for Education in 2004, was broadly to:

• investigate whether STEM initiatives currently being taken forward address the concerns raised about the decline in demand of university places in...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of research engineer, and STEM Ambassador, Jonathan Dewsbury.

Jonathan is studying for an Engineering Doctorate and working for an international engineering consultancy who are part-funding his studies. The company, Buro Happold, design and build...

A case study from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) which looks at how earthquake engineers, supported by EPSRC, are helping save lives around the globe by improving building safety and infrastructure design. Frontline research is vital to updating building codes and mitigating the...

This starter activity can be used as an introduction to reverse engineering. Using the presentation Earphones and Headphones, students are asked to identify the product and its function. They consider the following questions:

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of STEM Ambassador Ross Wattie, a risk management coordinator at an international integrated energy company.

Ross is currently involved in risk modelling to simulate different scenarios and assess their possible impacts. He has also found that his...

Together with related activities from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), this resource allows students to investigate the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals, and to explore the latest ideas in search-and-rescue...

Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents and presentations, or for use with an interactive whiteboard. Mainly simple line drawings, they can be cut and pasted into documents and image processing applications. The images in this resource are related to...

A collection of posters all linked to robotics. The first poster looks at how robotics is used in different STEM industries, including manufacturing, healthcare and space. The second poster promotes the skills that you can develop when you learn about robotics. The third poster looks at a number of different...

This poster provides examples of different industries that are using robotic technology. For example:

• Manufacturing
• Subsea
• Transport
• Healthcare
• Space

From NASA, these activities look at the scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical foundations of rocketry to provide exciting classroom opportunities for authentic hands-on experimentation. Rockets have formed the basis of space exploration.

Extensive teachers' notes, guidance and lesson plans...

From water and paper rockets to flying mice, create and launch your own rockets using these resources.  You can share your designs via #STEMClubsWeek22

In this activity, students are challenged to put on a show – either a live stage show or a recorded television show – to give a theatrical Earth science demonstration. Several demostrations are suggested for students to master: Growing crystals 1. Crystals from melts 2. Crystals from vapour 3. Crystals from...

In this Teachers TV video, a group of STEM ambassadors visit Bradfield...

Rollercoasters are an adrenaline rush, but did you know that it's engineers putting the thrills and chills into your favourite rides, as well as making sure they're safe to use? Tomorrow's Engineers took a trip to Thorpe Park to meet Ainsley James who told them more.
