GoConstruct K’Nex Challenge
Our 2024 GoConstruct K’Nex Challenge is underway and registrations for this academic 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 & 6 working in pairs to meet the brief, led by a trained STEM Ambassador.
This annual challenge is sponsored by the CITB Go Construct to enable us to offer it at a subsidised cost to schools.
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.

With 2,000 Ambassadors, why not encourage your team to become a STEM Ambassador and help inspire young people about STEM careers.
Are you a company that could provide a Research Placement for a 17 year old student, to supervise a student during the summer?
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 Hertfordshire, Luton and the South East.
CREST Awards are run nationally by the British Science Association, and STEMPOINT is proud to be the Regional CREST Support Organisation for the East of England.
Typically completed by 5-11 year olds, CREST Star and Superstar challenges relate to everyday experiences. Children complete eight activities to gain a CREST Award, with each activity taking between 45 -60 minutes to complete.
The activities are designed to be easy-to-run and low cost. You don’t need to be a teacher, have a science background or have access to specialist equipment to run them. The packs contain helpful hints and tips for you to use, explaining the scientific themes and offering guidance on conversation topics for your children.
You can find helpful resources and ideas on the website too, so why not encourage your pupils to tap into their creativity and curiosity and complete their own investigations!

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.
