STEM in Schools
Inspire the engineers
of the future
Provide a unique experience for your secondary school students by signing up for one of our STEM activities designed to fuel their passion for science, technology, engineering and maths and get them thinking about a potential career in engineering.
Our STEM activities are interactive workshops hosted by a Smallpeice Trust educator and designed to complement the national curriculum. For schools in England, this will help you to meet your Gatsby benchmarks.
Activities range from in-school STEM Days, coding projects and regional STEM competitions that pit young people against their peers around the country.
STEM days
Thanks to our amazing funders, our STEM days are normally offered free to state schools in the UK. All of our STEM activities encourage young people to consider the possibilities of a career in engineering and help them to build life and leadership skills in line with the Skills Builder partnership.
Alongside our standard STEM days, we also offer STEM Day+, which enables students to gain a CREST Discovery award from the British Science Association at the end of the STEM day.
Secure an experience your students will never forget, one that could fuel their passion for STEM subjects and encourage them to think about life beyond the classroom.
What other teachers say
Our Year 9s were completely engaged throughout the whole day. Several students have already asked about engineering A-levels!

What other teachers say
The experience from start to finish was excellent. The organisation and planning from behind the scenes was impeccable. Every question I had was answered and dealt with accordingly, the event itself was expertly delivered and coordinated.
