STEM Workshops, Competitions and Events
Flying Start Challenge
http://www.flyingstartchallenge.co.uk/ Flying Start Challenge is an engineering competition in the South West of England run by eight aerospace companies: AgustaWestland, Airbus, Atkins, BAE Systems, GKN Aerospace, MBDA, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty and Rolls-Royce.

ICE Bridges to Schools
http://www.ice.org.uk/ Bridges to Schools is one of our most exciting schools activities. You can have a 12m long model of a cable-stayed bridge brought to your school, so pupils can build, walk across and deconstruct it. We've also pulled together a wealth of other resources, from videos to activities, aimed at helping you to inspire young people into a career in civil engineering. |
The Rolls-Royce FanTastic Challenge
http://www.rolls-royce.com/ There are around 1,300 STEM Ambassadors in Rolls-Royce, of which 1,100 are in the UK, who undertake regular hands-on activities in schools to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Get in touch and run an event at your school today! |
