Hello Balliol, we’re NUSTEM. We’re based at Northumbria University, and we work across the region supporting children, families and teachers in exploring science, technology, engineering and maths. We’re particularly keen to help people recognise that careers in these STEM subjects are available to them.
On this page you’ll find a summary of the things we’ve done with your school, and links to follow-up activities you can do at home.
Today Year 5 have been finding out about what happens underneath the ice in Antarctica. They then wrote their own poem about this. To Find out more and read some poems by children in other schools, visit our Underneath the Ice website page. You may even find their poems there soon!
Today it was Year 2’s turn to investigate materials using weight, electricity and magnets. Why not investigate how strong the materials in your home are by trying our NUSTEM at home Bridge Building activity?
Year 4 became systems engineer and designed, built, tested an improved their marble runs. For more information about systems engineering and for activities you can try at home, visit our Systems Engineer webpage.
Today Year 1 have been material scientists and investigated differnt materials. To become a materials scientist at home using ice and household materials, visit our Insulating Ice STEM at home activity.
