STEM

 

At Acklam Whin, we are keen to equip our children with the foundational skills and aspirations needed to eventually approach the world of work. STEM activities give the children an opportunity to combine their knowledge of science, technology, engineering and maths to solve problems in real-life contexts. Giving children scenarios from the real world and allowing them to explore solutions encourages them to apply their understanding and ability to problem solve and think about their future aspirations while developing confidence in their skills. We are keen to show our children that the skills and attributes developed during STEM sessions can lead to careers within our own local area, and where possible, we show the real-life application opportunities available right here in the Tees Valley.

Throughout the Summer Term, we have worked with Spark Tees Valley to immerse year groups across the school in STEM activities which challenge and engage. Our children have approached each STEM day with enthusiasm and perseverance and have benefitted from the extra support of our Digital Leaders. The details of each day can be found below:
