STEM Person of the Week

Welcome to STEM Person of the Week – an award winning STEM engagement activity that’s been shown to reduce children’s stereotypes of science and scientists by providing counter-stereotypical character attributes through a set of diverse STEM role models.

This resource aims to equip teachers with everything they need to effectively run this 5-week intervention in their school setting. The resource is simple to use and suitable for children and young people.  Primary schools have used the resource for children aged 5 – 11, and secondary schools have used the resource with young people aged 11 – 14.

In fact, we recommend that you run STEM Person of the Week with your whole school or whole year groups; this way, children, young people and teachers can share what they’re learning beyond the classroom and into their social spaces and staff room.

Here you’ll find:

• Links to the resources which you can download and print
• Aims, background and research
• Guidance for teachers who want to deliver in their school
