The Primary STEM Challenge is a hugely enjoyable problem solving challenge for teams of two P6/P7 pupils. Using basic technology materials, teams are required to design and build a solution to a given problem within a set time. Teams will be judged by Sentinus ambassadors after they have completed the challenge.
A comprehensive resource booklet is available at the link below to support the teaching of technology and provide examples of challenges from previous years. Please follow this link Primary STEM Challenge Handbook
