See what last year's participants had to say:
"Amazing course! Truly inspirational lectured with some very clever people! The whole of the course including venue was extremely professional! I came away with more than anticipated!"
"The day was well-organised and full of good ideas. I learnt lots and can now use these for my own classroom practice and can cascade to others back in school."
"It was great to get real life teaching ideas. I went straight back and used one of the resources given in my Code Club and a student stated, without being questioned, that this was such a good way to understand computing."
"I have been overwhelmed and enthused to learn more about STEM subjects!"
"The course was a thoroughly enjoyable day and this was the consensus shared with other participants as we reflected on the day."
The course fees include meals for the duration of the course.
Course fees vary for participants outside the UK. Please contact enquiries@stem.org.uk for more information
