S.T.E.M. at Clarence

House25th January 2017

S.T.E.M. S.T.E.M. stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths

S.T.E.M. learning helps us to develop a set of thinking, reasoning, teamwork, investigative and creative skills that we can use in all areas of our future lives.

S.T.E.M. is really good fun!

S.T.E.M. challenge

So rather than talking to you about S.T.E.M., we would like you to join in and try it yourself!

We will bring S.T.E.M. goody bags to your tables now. Don’t open them yet!

The spaghetti and marshmallow challenge

Your task is to build a free-standing tower that will hold the egg for at least 30 seconds, using only the equipment provided.

The team with the tallest tower (that also holds the egg!) is the winner.

You have ten minutes.

WHY S.T.E.M.?We are living in a time when jobs, the economy, and technology are

changing at a rapid pace.

We want to equip our girls to be citizens of the future, regardless of whether they choose a S.T.E.M. pathway or not.

S.T.E.M. is a skill for

life“Education should prepare young people for jobs that do not exist yet, using technologies that have not been invented, to solve problems of which we are not yet aware”

Richard Riley - 6th United States Secretary of Education
