STEM person of the week
Welcome to STEM Person of the Week – a STEM engagement activity that’s been shown to reduce children’s stereotypes of science and scientists by providing counter-stereotypical character attributes through a set of diverse STEM role models.
This resource aims to equip teachers with everything they need to effectively run this 5-week intervention in their school setting. The resource is simple to use and suitable for children in years 1 through 6. In fact, we recommend that you run STEM Person of the Week with your whole school; this way, children and teachers can share what they’re learning beyond the classroom and into the playground and staff room.
Here you’ll find:
- Links to the resources which you can download and print
- Aims, background and research
- Guidance for teachers who want to deliver in their school
