Hello Birtley East, 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. You might also want to check out our calendar of upcoming events:
Today it was the turn of the Key Stage one families to become systems engineers and use their different components together to create a marble run system. To find out more about systems engineering and to discover more activities that you can try at home, click here.
This afternoon Key Stage 2 families became systems engineers and deigned, built, tested and improved marble runs to see if they could make the marbles roll for longer and longer times. To find out more about systems engineers and to discover ideas you can try at home, click here.
