Chillingham Road Primary School

Hello Chillingham Road, 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:

Year 5 became medical physicists and found out how to use physics and technology to look inside the human body. Click here to discover more about medical physics.

After school, families became systems engineers and designed, created, tested and improved marble runs that kept their marbles rolling for the longest time. Click here to discover similar activities to try at home.

Wow, what a week Dan and I have had. Between us we’ve seen the whole school. On Monday, we explored magnetism with Reception and then on the afternoon Year 1 became Naval Architects, designing and building boats. Find out more by clicking here.

We came back on Thursday to work with Y5 where we built some incredible structure out of kNex. Our civil engineering skills went, almost literally, through the roof!

Finally on Friday we spent the morning with Y3 exploring the world of Aeronautical Engineering. Dans put together a page related to flight which you can find here.
