About Regional Community Celebrations of STEM
Regional Community Celebrations of STEM provided schools in remote communities of Scotland, Highland, Shetland and Orkney, with funding to develop a STEM project to showcase and compete for primary and secondary Regional Club of the Year titles.
Working with SCDI, engineers provided STEM challenges, drop-in activities and talks, and pupils had the opportunity to interact with engineers and engage with engineering outside of normal educational settings, as well as explore the range of STEM careers available. Teachers were also able to share best practices and their enthusiasm for STEM.
This project focussed on engaging with those currently under-represented in the engineering community, specifically girls, and those from geographically remote or deprived communities.
