Ultimate STEM Challenge: A home for nature

Ultimate STEM Challenge

 

New challenge announced for 2020-2021

The Ultimate STEM challenge is back and this year it aims to immerse pupils in the theme of biodiversity! The decline of biodiversity has a dramatic effect on all living creatures, including humans, and the way they interact. That's why this year’s Ultimate STEM Challenge invites young people across the UK to get creative and design a home for nature, using natural and technical solutions, to improve biodiversity in their local community.

         

 

New free resources

The resources are designed to support the science, geography, design and technology and computing curricula and are perfect for socially distanced classrooms, at home and remote learning. The free resources can be spread across primary and secondary year groups and include easy to use lesson plans, engaging homework activities and video lessons with wildlife presenter, Michaela Strachan. You will also find an entry form and all the details on how to enter this year’s prestigious competition.
