NUSTEM is a STEM education research group at Northumbria University. We support schools, staff and students across the North-East of England, developing their long-term engagement with STEM and STEM careers.
Our approach uniquely combines:
- Supporting educators embedding career information into their teaching practices by creating career-led resources. This approach aligns with the delivery of the Gatsby Benchmarks of Good Career Guidance.
- Supporting young people to foster 15 attributes intrinsic to every STEM professionals by weaving the attributes in our activities and resources, helping young people to recognise their potential to become the STEM professionals of the future.
- Supporting educators and young people with information about different routes into STEM by organising, or signposting, future pathways activities.
