STEM Workshops for schools
Designed for primary and secondary learners Learn by Design delivers workshops that are practical, fun and inspiring. Increasing engagement in science, technology, engineering and maths, the sessions bring to life the core principles of STEM.
Enhance the existing curriculum topics with an interactive and engaging workshop where learners will cover:
· Practical Physics – learn the basic principles of physics by testing speed, strength and reactions using cutting edge sports testing equipment.
· Circuit Building – improve knowledge of electrical components and the flow of current through a circuit by using our robust kits as circuit challenges promote trouble shooting skills.
· Wind Turbines – learn more about wind energy and the construction and testing of model wind turbines.
· Robotics – find out more about the progress of robotics and work with remote control robots to resolve problems.
· Design & Deliver – come up with a brand new idea or a unique twist on an existing idea and find out why innovation is important.
· STEM Interactive Quiz – share learning using interactive wireless technology.
Please note: Learn by Design also create and deliver bespoke programmes dependent on a schools requirement and curriculum enrichment needs.
In the current COVID climate please be aware that if required we offer a blended learning offer that can be delivered virtually via LIVE STREAMING into the classroom. Please email for details: learn@bydesign-group.co.uk
