Projects and Creativity: STEM Application
Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths are all important subjects on their own; however, they are rarely seen outside the field of education. In industry and workplace environments, individuals and teams with various levels of expertise and skills work together to generate new knowledge, ideas and products.
The skills developed through STEM are valued by many employers including those in non-STEM related industries. In fact, these skills are essential in every economic sector.
As a school, we need to develop a culture of STEM by ensuring our teachers are empowered and by providing high quality experiences.
This interactive session will guide us through how we can become a truly creative STEM school, while highlighting a whole school approach and teaching resources to support your journey, and help us to move from promise to practice.
