STEAM-In-A-Box programmes are fun, creative, curriculum-linked programmes inspiring primary school children (and teachers!) to love STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths)!
"We love STEM and creativity, and want every primary school and child in the country to have a chance to participate!! Teachers love it, kids love and the co-teaching scientists love it - win win win! We would love to have you on board. Go science!" - Dr. Alice D'Arcy - Managing Director, STEAM Education Ltd
1-3 Hrs per lesson - You can do the STEAM In A Box Programme in your own time - each programme is 5 lessons, so plan for about 15 hours to complete a programme. Introductory Training Provided in Advance (online) ! Again available to do in your own time.
Email or ring Alice ([email protected] or 0876189837) and we can run through which STEAM In A Box Programme options and which might suit your school best.
Ther are 5 different programmes area available - all designed for senior classes (5th & 6th, but a few are fine for 3rd and 4th too). All boxes packed for an average class of 30. So if you are successful and complete all the steps you can receive 3 boxes - so you could cover a whole year group in a big school - or 3 year groups in a smaller one! And/or choose 3 different programmes so you can swap around :)
