STEM Club and Science Week Ideas

Session Information 

School science clubs give students the chance to get hands-on, test their own ideas and experiment in a way that often just isn’t time for during the school day - nurturing the links between science and creativity. And they don’t have to be lots of work for you! Often science cubs run for 30mins to an hour after school, but you might be able to set one up in a lunch time if that fits better for your students. It’s usually easiest to hold the club in a science lab, but you might be able to do it in a classroom, or even outside, if you choose your science club activities carefully.

A science club is also a great oppertunity to work with colleages from across the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects in your school. 

This session will consist of an introduction to the Royal Society of Chemistry resources, followed by a discussion about Science (STEM) clubs from a variety of different teachers who have first hand experience in starting and nurting science (STEM) clubs in their school. 

We strongly encourage that you have already registered for Teach Chemistry, use a laptop or tablet and have a QR scanning app on a second device to get the most out of this session.

Outcomes 

By the end of the session, attendees should have some ideas for creating a science club in their school. By the end of the 1-hour online session, attendees should be able to:

• Locate and access the RSC’s Outreach resources hub and list 5 resources that could be used as STEM/Science club activities,
• Use the advice and tips from an experienced STEM club facilitator to set up their own STEM club in school.
• Locate and apply for relevant funding to help in the facilitation of a STEM club.
