The ‘STEM Learning’ workshop will offer hands-on activities to facilitate Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths activities. We’ll explore how technology can bind subjects together to form educationally enhancing experiences for learners.

In doing so, we’ll also showcase ‘quick wins’, that teachers can easily embed into lessons with very little subject-specific knowledge.

All of the apps featured will be free and available on the app store. So join us to deepen your cross-curricular skills and engage in the latest STEM applications.

Objectives 

• Explore the latest free STEM apps 
• Combine subjects through technology 
• Make educationally enhancing links between subject areas 
• Easily embed engaging tools into lessons
