Hello South Street, 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 it was Reception children who became lighting engineers, investigating light, shadow and colours. why not try our NUSTEM at home Light Reflecting Mobiles activity? This uses anything shiny you can find!
Today Nursery have been lighting engineers and investigated light and shadows using torches and light boxes. Why not try our Shadow Tubes STEM at home activity, which uses only a torch, toilet roll tube and cling film.
Year 1 and 2 have been designing, building and testing boats this morning. To try this at home, go to our Naval Architects STEM at home activity, which uses only a piece of tin foil and some coins.
