4 DAYS TO GO: Educate Awards 2017!
All About STEM are proud to be the returning sponsor of the STEM Project of the Year Award at the 2017 Educate Awards. There are just 4 days to go until the prestigious award ceremony… who will take our amazing accolade home?
The Educate Awards is an annual awards ceremony celebrating education within the Liverpool City Region, Lancashire and Cheshire. Now in its sixth year, the awards have grown due to the volume of entries and increased demand from schools to take part.
The STEM Project of the Year Award recognises schools that have developed a STEM based project during the academic year of 2016-17 providing an opportunity to develop an innovative and effective approach to encouraging pupils to engage with science, technology, engineering or maths. It can be a project that has a focus on one element of STEM or can be a project that covers all four areas.
There are three shortlisted entrants for the STEM Project of the Year 2017:
Mosslands School
Mosslands has an inclusive approach to STEAM (including art). The school aims to give students a fuller understanding of the impact STEM has on society and our daily lives. Last year, 100% of Year 7, 8 and 11 students attended one or more STEAM events, which included visits and workshops from Tomorrow’s Engineers, Daresbury Labs, National Grid and The Manufacturing Institute.
