These resources are from the evolving Government agencies that have maintained and developed the National Curriculum and associated assessments, tests and examinations, advising the Secretary of State for Education on these matters.

In this video Sam Creed discusses how playing with Lego in his youth sparked his interest in engineering and how those skills and experiences still apply in his role today.  He also touches upon problem solving and how building 'big robots' can be really satisfying.  

Following the introduction of technology to the National Curriculum for students aged 5-16 in 1988, a number of problems with its implementation were identified. The Engineering Council commissioned research into these perceived problems and reports were produced which included recommendations for improvements and...

This STEM resource is inspired by the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.

Engineering a better world is a series of activities, practical tasks and discussion points that invite young learners to explore the role that young engineers and entrepreneurs play in developing innovations that will bring...

In this resource designed by the IET, pupils are tasked with designing a stadium to meet the needs of people attending the men’s football World Cup in Qatar.

They will need to think about the main design considerations and requirements for the stadium, produce annotated sketches of their idea and think about...

These primary and secondary resources explore the science, technology, engineering and maths involved in the film industry.

Engineering in the Movies lets pupils explore the creative and practical side of STEM in the movie industry while introducing the important role engineers have in the movie industry. Through 12 engaging activities, pupils will see how topics from their subject lessons can be applied in real-world engineering. This...

These resources cover many types of engineering, but the common theme is that they contain activities that pupils could complete to show how engineers solve problems through the application of science and design.

The 'What is engineering?' resource contains a useful presentation 'Engineers don't all wear...

This guided reading activity sheet introduces six engineers and the work that they do.  There are differentiated questions for pupils.

Engineering for families is a 6-week structured course for children aged 7 - 11 and their families. It is designed to be used in an afterschool club led by teachers or other adults. Each week focuses on a career within a different discipline of engineering, with a final engineering challenge week. 

This collection is produced by Engineers Without Borders UK (EWB) , an international development organisation that aims to remove barriers to development through engineering. It contains resources which challenge children to discuss big issues facing the modern world and the challenges this poses for engineers...

These resources, from the HE STEM Programme South West, were produced  to enable academic staff, undergraduates, masters and PhD students in higher education institutions to undertake more effective outreach  through a better understanding of theory and practices with regard to school curricula and learning ...

This summary was produced by the Department for Education in 2012 to support schools with their behaviour policy. This document summarises the legal powers and duties that govern behaviour and attendance in school at the time of writing, and explains how they apply to teachers, governing bodies, pupils and parents...

This article looks at how STEM subjects can help students learn about key environmental issues using the National Association for Environmental Education's (NAEE) teacher handbooks about 'The Environmental Curriculum' and details of the 'Sustainable Development Goals' launched at the 2015 Paris agreement on climate...
