Primary School Initiatives

GoConstruct K’Nex Challenge
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.

Book a STEM workshop for your school!
Our primary school workshops are currently available in Hertfordshire and Luton. They are offered on a ‘not for profit’ basis costing just £390 for a full day (2 or 3 sessions) or £265 for morning only session(s).
We also offer special Maths workshops for pupils in Hertfordshire.

However, all schools in the region can request a STEM Ambassador free of charge.
We provide hands-on, fun, educational, interactive workshops ‘not for profit’

News and Updates

British Science Week runs from 7th-16th March 2025
STEMPOINT provides a FREE competition and online talk each year. The theme of this year’s paper engineering competition is ‘Create a Creature’.
We can provide support for your STEM week or clubs all year round. We run regular teacher CPD sessions on ‘How to run a STEM Week’ – to find out more, click below:

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.

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
