STEM in Schools
Bringing STEM
to life
Real-world STEM applications in your classroom.
The Smallpeice Trust offers immersive STEM experiences for primary and secondary schools, encouraging young people at all ages to pursue careers in engineering and become the changemakers of tomorrow.
Working closely with an exciting array of partners, we offer fully funded opportunities including virtual and in-school STEM events, STEM competitions, and teacher CPD in coding.
Schools often tell us how difficult it is to link different STEM subjects together with real-world applications – that’s exactly the problem our STEM activities solve.
All of our events complement the national curriculum in science, technology, engineering and maths and are aligned with the Skills Builder partnership.
You’ll find all the information in the links below, or see our Teacher FAQs for even more detail.
