Join the British Science Association's (BSA) Engage Teacher Network to apply for funding to support delivery of practical science in your school, access free resources and the annual conference, and be first to hear about exclusive offers.  Engage is a community of teachers in schools in challenging circumstances who want to transform access to relevant and meaningful science work for all children and young people, especially those who are most often underrepresented in science. It’s a group where teachers come together to share ideas, access resources and support, and apply for grants – and it’s completely free.

Engage equips teachers with the tools and inspiration to provide exciting, hands-on opportunities through science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) for students to gain the skills and confidence they need to flourish at school, at work and in life.

Engage is run by the BSA and managed through the charity’s flagship CREST Awards education scheme, with support from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

STEM Learning Online Mentoring 

STEM Learning's free national online mentoring scheme is designed to help 13-19-year-olds explore their future career options by chatting with STEM professionals. Conversations take place via text-based messaging on a secure & moderated mentoring platform, so mentors & mentees do not need to be online at the same time. The next session runs from 7 October to 16 December. STEM Ambassadors can sign up to be mentors here. Teachers and young people can sign up via the mentoring page here. Registrations close 30 September.  

November 28th online

We are offering a training session called 'How to explain your job to an 8 year old', which will be run online between 4pm and 5pm.

This session will cover the best ways of breaking down a complicated job title into bite-sized chunks that young people can understand. It is so important that students find out about a range of amazing careers that they can one day go into, but too often they are confused by the jargon and lack the knowledge required to understand what the job is. Get some tips on how to help young people learn about the different things they can do in life and have a go at formulating your explanation of your own job.

This user support session can be accessed using the Teams link in the URL above, which will also be sent to your STEM Ambassador email account the day before the session. More information here
