Regional Community Celebrations of STEM will provide schools in remote communities of Scotland, Highland, Shetland and Orkney, with funding to develop a STEM project to showcase and compete for primary and secondary Regional Club of the Year titles.
Working with SCDI, engineers will provide STEM challenges, drop-in activities and talks, and pupils will have the opportunity to interact with engineers and engage with engineering outside of normal educational settings, as well as explore the range of STEM careers available. Teachers will also be able to share best practices and their enthusiasm for STEM.
This project will focus on engaging with those currently under-represented in the engineering community, specifically girls, and those from geographically remote or deprived communities.
