STEM Challenge 2024

The STEM Challenge 2024 asked students to research, and propose solutions for, a hypothetical

but realistic scenario in a creative and scientific manner, this year, it was: ‘a vision of a carbon neutral day in 2050’. Students were asked to imagine themselves as scientists and policy makers in 2050, responsible for ensuring that resources are managed in a sustainable and carbon neutral way.

Pupils with EAL needs who are keen to take STEM subjects as their options were provided with support from Science Academic Mentor to support them, and the project was designed to target key skills in the Skills Building Partnership Framework, where they could develop skills such as teamwork, creativity and problem solving and Gatsby Good Career Guidance benchmarks.
