Discover your skills

Students can discover their STEM skills in our interactive careers activities area! Meet STEM students and professionals, and take part in 3 activities, designed around the key skills of creativity, teamwork, speaking, listening and problem solving.

• Hot topic debates: will students agree or disagree with the solutions proposed on hot topics, such as technology and climate change? Can their mind be changed after listening to other people’s opinions?
• Odd one out: can students see and explain a reason why each of the 4 images would be the odd one out? They will have to use their creative thinking skills in this challenge
• Tinkering space: will students see their failure as learning, just as engineers do? There will be 3 design challenges for students to choose from. Each one encourages them to make, tweak, test and create their own outcome. The space celebrates famous failures and surprising outcomes from when things haven’t gone as expected

By taking part students will gain skills stickers and build confidence in speaking to STEM professionals.
