Our 2025 GoConstruct K’Nex Challenge is underway and registrations for this year are closed.

Primary schools in Hertfordshire, Luton, Peterborough, Essex and Suffolk will be taking part in an exciting hands-on engineering challenge with pupils in Years 5 and 6 working in pairs to meet the brief, led by a trained STEM Ambassador.

This annual challenge is sponsored by CITB GoConstruct which enables us to offer it to schools at a subsidised cost.

Renewable Energy Workshops
Open to schools across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.

Our Renewable Energy workshops have been launched this academic year for students aged 10 to 14 from across Norfolk, Suffolk and parts of Essex. 

These workshops have been developed in collaboration with teachers to ensure they enhance pupils' learning from the national curriculum and showcase all the amazing job opportunities available in the sector.

In each workshop, students also work in pairs to make and test their own wind turbine. This hands on approach helps bring everything to life and makes it more relatable as they are making something they often see in the area.

These workshops have been generously funded by Freeport East and Scottish Power Renewables, so we are able to offer them to school at no cost.

If your school is interested in attending one of the workshops we are already running, or would like to find out more about hosting your own, please get in touch.

Role Models from the Space Industry Flyer (1)
ESERO
Open to schools across Hertfordshire, Luton and the South East.

Space Inspirations is an initiative to attract more young people into science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and the space industry. Supporting STEM Ambassadors to deliver successful interactions with young people, inspiring and encouraging the next generation of space professionals.

For teachers
Bringing STEM Ambassadors - volunteers from a broad range of jobs and backgrounds, into your classroom is a perfect way to demonstrate the connection between the STEM subjects young people study, the potential careers in space travel and exploration they can progress into.

Meet a Space Ambassador  

We’re offering primary schools across the East of England the chance for pupils to meet  a STEM Ambassador working in the Space Industry! This could be online, at an assembly, during a class lesson or at an after-school STEM club. Would you be interested in receiving a free, 30-60 minutes talk from
one of our SPACE Ambassadors?
