The All About STEM Competition (Making It Happen)
Welcome to the All About STEM Competition 2024!
For the last two years, we have been amazed at the entries to the All About STEM Competition and we love seeing your wonderful ideas so we have returned for another year and this time we’ve decided on a slightly different direction; this year we are having a competition theme and it is all about food!
The All About STEM Competition invites learners aged 9 – 16 from across the North West of England to participate in designing a poster showing a new product, idea, item or approach that is based around food. This could be a new way to grow food, a new way to get food to our home, a new way to eat or you could design a school canteen of the future! Perhaps you’d like to channel your inner Willy Wonka and be inspired by edible wallpaper or 3-course dinner gum.
We saw some fantastic ideas last year, including a robot that waters your plants, a bin that helps organise waste and a Smart Dummy that helps with MMA training. The Spy-Clip, which helps the wearer in emergency situations, came from one of last year’s winning teams and it was a brilliant idea from Wirral Grammar School for Girls!
Why not check out our webpage to get some inspiration from previous winners? You can develop your own ideas, starting completely from scratch, letting your imagination go wild or you could use one of our partner resources to help with your initial ideas.
You can enter the All About STEM Competition as an individual or as part of a group of up to 5 people and we have resources to help parents/guardians/carers/teachers to support you every step of the way including funded* support options courtesy of our amazing Competition Sponsors. Our Competition Newsletter will have all the details, be the first in the know and sign up here.
