Running a STEM Club in your school

Next week sees the national STEM Club Week celebration. Dr Caroline Oprandi, STEM centre manager at Portslade Aldridge Community Academy and a STEMNET Ambassador, offers some advice on running your own club

Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA) has recently been awarded the prestigious STEM Club of the Year award by STEM charity STEMNET (the Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics Network), with pupils travelling to CERN in Switzerland as part of their prize.

The school is also currently in the finals for the National Science and Engineering competition held by the British Science Association, and after a lot of hard work, our STEM education programme is going from strength-to-strength. Part of my role is furthering STEM initiatives within the school and I have been asked to give my advice on how to get started with your own STEM initiatives.
