NUSTEM

We're delighted that our new paper about evaluating sustained STEM engagement activities has just been published in IJSTEME. In it we write about what we wish we had known when we started out in 2014, and what we know now: nustem.uk/blog/news/eval…

In early 2021, our STEM team alongside @nustem_uk developed an idea for a STEM-focused Curiosity Club for children aged 5+🧬🌠 Thanks to funding from the @STFC_Matters, that idea shortly turned into reality.💙 To learn more about our club, visit 🔽 s4a.org.uk/stem-club-mead…

Watch @GreatSciShare 2022 youtu.be/rGZeyTiojp8 and save the date w/o 13th June 2023 📽️We can't wait to have you involved again. Register on the new member space. @pstt_whyhow @Psqm_HQ @ogdentrust @theASE @BritishSciFest @BritSciAssoc @CRESTAwards @SSERCofficial @nustem_uk

We're pleased to be collaborating with @GreatSciShare to showcase people working to support Climate Action. Find the STEM Person of the Week resource on our website: nustem.uk/stem-person-of…

We're still buzzing from Monday's Curiosity Club session.🐝🐝 A visit from @Pure_buzzin made learning about bees all the more fun. Delivered in partnership with @nustem_uk & kindly funded by @STFC_Matters. 💙

@DrDav of @nustem_uk and @NorthumbriaUni emphasises the importance of sharing information with pupils and showing them the types of careers which #physics education can lead to. Exploring possibilities inspires young people to pursue the subject. @IOPStirlingMeet #IOPStirling

Primary school teachers typically don’t have STEM backgrounds and may be uncertain about the types of career which STEM learning can lead to. So @nustem_uk have created a primary science careers tool to help: nustem.uk/primarycareers/ #IOPLiimitLess #IOPStirling @IOPStirlingMeet

This will feature the Inventive Podcast. @Trevor_cox the host will be joined by author @taniahershman who wrote on episode 1. @nustem_uk will also be there with the school materials developed from inventivepodcast.com

My new paper in @EGU_GC finds that space careers resources need a greater diversity of roles in them, which is why @ICSpaceLab and @nustem_uk are developing a new one thanks to @STFC_Matters funding. Here's our analysis: doi.org/10.5194/gc-5-1…

Another excellent opportunity for Year 13 students - this time IT degree apprenticeships with Virgin Money #chatphysics #apprenticeship #STEM getmyfirstjob.co.uk/search/details…

Bursary opportunity for A-level/BTEC students who want to study computer science or a related degree raeng.org.uk/grants-prizes/…

Evaluation is really important. Sometimes things don't go to plan which gives opportunity to reflect. We've just published our reflections on using the National Pupil Database nustem.uk/blog/news/less…

We're very pleased to see mention of #careers support for pupils in primary school. We've been saying that this is important for many years, and have lots of resources for schools that want to know more. @educationgovuk

Quick post to share a fun parody song about Pluto for British Science Week. (We don't talk about Pluto) nustem.uk/blog/news/we-d…

We had so much fun introducing the children in our @mwconnected Club to Civil Engineering. Can we also add, the Makedo toolset is incredible! It comes with safe saws, screws, screwdrivers & plenty of tools to encourage teamwork, creativity, collaboration & problem-solving.

It's #nationalcareersweek why not listen to our #inspiring #diverse #engineers like Sian Cleaver who works on @NASA Orion Service Module hub.salford.ac.uk/inventivepodca… We have career and curriculum materials accompanying each ep @nustem_uk

We're looking for STEM volunteers in chemistry jobs, renewable energy and climate action. Do you know anyone who would be suitable? #renewablejobs #engineering #climateTech @RoySocChem @RAEngNews @PhysicsNews @NERCscience @northeastlep

@ProfKatyShaw @ProfTomCrick @Woodhorn @Technocamps @CompFoundry That would be our @DrDav! She'll be in touch!

@ProfTomCrick @nustem_uk @Woodhorn @Technocamps @CompFoundry Love this 👌🏻 who is leading our end? Would be great to connect to new work here… 💡

Looking forward to chairing my first @nustem_uk Advisory Group meeting today: nustem.uk/about/ (virtually sadly, but looking forward to visiting @NorthumbriaUni very soon)

We need a diverse range of role models to be part of our 'STEM Person of the Week' postcards. If your job uses chemistry OR you're involved in tackling climate change, you could be just the person we're looking for. nustem.uk/blog/c/stem-pe…

This morning, Reception are learning to be glaciologists. Mel from @nustem_uk has supported us to build ice towers and investigate the properties of ice. Next we are going to learn to be lighting engineers!
