The Big Bang is the largest celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths for young people in the UK, aimed at showing young people (primarily aged 7-19) just how many exciting and rewarding opportunities there are out there for them with the right experience and qualifications.
Does your school need some Big Bang magic? Why not host an inspiring STEM day filled Big Bang @ School day with amazing new activities.
Sentinus, is inviting you to host a Big Bang @ School event in this current academic year. There is a limited number of places open to schools in Northern Ireland, so apply soon!
Guidelines
This STEM initiative is targeted at Key Stage 3 students to encourage and facilitate them in getting involved in hands- on activities and inspire STEM career aspirations. The aims and outcomes expected from participation are as follows;
- You will run a Big Bang @ School event at some stage this current academic year. This can be a one day event or it could be shorter periods over the duration of a week or longer. The initiative must target Key Stage 3 students, providing them with hands on practical content, STEM activities, careers inspiration and problem-based learning.
- Support is available from Sentinus, to deliver engaging activities and careers insights. We can also support you in delivering any activities you wish to deliver (using guidance from The Big Bang/Neon), and contacting industry supporters and STEM Ambassadors to create and exciting and inspiring event!
- After your event has taken place, EngineeringUK will require a short evaluation.
