Hello Rainbird, 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:
This morning, I’ve been in Rainbird Academy working with the Y5s and 6s. We’ve been learning about the science of the Sun and have been talking about the work of Solar Physicists.
Here are some images from our infrared camera.
This morning Luke and I were at Rainbird Primary school. We’ve explored magnets with Reception, became brilliant botanists with Year 1 and then held rocks from space as geologists in Year 3.
Each class was kind enough to let me take videos of their class pets with my microscope.
You can find the snakes video here and the grasshopper video here.
