STEM Teachers

stemNRICH is a unique collection of resources for 11-16 year-old students which will:
  • stimulate, engage and inspire students
  • provide rich contexts to help students and teachers integrate maths and the other SET subjects
  • provide teachers with answers to 'Why do we need to know this?'
  • help in preparing students for GCSE, A levels and university STEM courses
  • enrich all STEM classrooms
  • support non-specialists
  • provide resources for STEM clubs
Resources from STEM Teacher Inspiration Days 2011/12 and 2012/13
