Stemazing Inspiration Academy

Stemazing Inspiration Academy

September 22nd - December 21st

The STEMAZING Inspiration Academy is a FREE programme of live online STEM sessions designed to engage and inspire children aged 7 - 9 years. Each week the children take part in a 45 minute activity over Zoom using only basic resources. All sessions are delivered by women in STEM to showcase female role models and support changing outdated perceptions of what a scientist, technologist or engineer looks like.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

4 x 45min STEM sessions will delivered weekly in November and December. Each session will focus on a different science or engineering principle through a simple hands-on activity each child engages with, including structures, aerodynamics, energy and sustainability.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

All sessions will be delivered remotely using Zoom (or other platform). Some sessions may be in-person if we are able to match a role model that lives locally to your school. These sessions are best run in school time so the whole class can participate. You can agree the best time to run the live sessions with your assigned STEMAZINGWomen role model in advance.

WHAT WILL YOU NEED?

For FREE - we will send you a STEMKit including the key resources needed for the 4 STEM experiments for each class of 30 children taking part. These will be simple things like cardboard tubes, balloons, and skewers. Your school will need to provide paper, colouring pens, scissors, and glue sticks.
