Spring 2024 - STEM exploration

This project includes the loan of a class set of Crumble physical computing devices and related components. Further information can be found below.

This professional development programme aims to improve teachers’ confidence, knowledge and practice in science, technology, engineering, computing and mathematics. Teachers will plan and teach integrated STEM projects to help pupils gain an understanding of engineering - including through ‘coding’, moving parts of models and applying mathematical, technology and scientific skills. Pupils will solve real and relevant problems linked to the key stage 2 national curriculum.

Each school taking part in the project is entitled to borrow a class box (16 sets of kit) of Crumble physical computing device, USB cable, battery pack, AA batteries, crocodile clips, LEDs, motors, wheels and sparkles.

Outcomes
