An introduction to STEM Clubs

Find out all about STEM Clubs and the UK STEM Clubs programme and discover why schools, teachers and students get involved.

Running a STEM Club (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) can help support a school improvement plan and meet Gatsby Benchmarks helping to ensure young people can make informed decisions about their future careers. A STEM club is any extra-curricular learning and activity that meets regularly to learn about science subjects and engage in practical application. A STEM Club can be any of the STEM subjects or be a mix - so long as students are engaging with science whether it is part of a challenge, competition or short or long term projects and activities.

STEM clubs are an asset that help young people to expand their knowledge and understanding of science led subjects, encouraging them to try new ideas, be creative and enjoy being involved. Helping to link curricular learning with real world context.
