  • Congratulations to Alex King and James Howes

    From Shurdington C of E Primary School

    who were HIGHLY COMMENDED

    When they represented Gloucestershire at the National Final of Junior Engineer for Britain (Knex Challenge) On Friday 11th June 2010 at Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambs.

     The competition saw teams from over 50 areas competing in this prestigious event.

  • NEW* NEW* NEW* The next STEM Challenge, inspired by London 2012, will be on the theme of anti-doping and is supported by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). It will focus on laboratory techniques.

Teams of up to six pupils will be guided through a scaled-down process of "laboratory accreditation" before analysing samples and producing analyst reports. We'll also be looking at why anti-doping legislation is in place and how it protects the innocent athlete.  For more information, please go to www.stemchallenges.net.

   

We are a department within Gloucestershire County Council who hold the STEMPOINT contract

Organisations holding STEMPOINT contracts aim to ensure that all young people, schools, and colleges in their area have easy access to STEM curriculum enhancement and enrichment activities and schemes. 

As the stempoint for Gloucestershire we have a wealth of information about local and national resources, schemes and initiatives based on Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics and offer impartial advice to all schools and colleges.

Some of this information is contained on this web site but we would be very willing to visit your school, college or business so please contact us.
