STEM Challenge 4: The Travel Challenge
Give your pupils the chance to win BIG prizes by entering the current STEM Challenge
The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games present London and the UK with a huge transport challenge. Could your pupils help to reduce the carbon footprint of spectators travelling to London 2012?
BP and STEMNET have a Challenge for students aged 11-14: We are asking teams to make sustainable travel plans for the journey from their school to two different Olympic and Paralympic venues.
The following amazing prizes are on offer:
- £1000 equipment for your STEM Club (2nd place £750, 3rd place £500)
- A set of Science Museum Club boxes
- A teacher CPD course
The Challenge will take you up to four weeks to complete in a typical club setting. The deadline for completed team entries is 1 November 2010.
"The STEM Challenge students feel privileged to be a part of the competition. This is the best extra-curricular activity I've ever been involved with!"

What are the STEM Challenges?
The STEM Challenges are ten activities that have been inspired by London 2012. Each one is a competition and will focus on a different aspect of the preparations or the event itself.
They provide a contextual and cross-curricular approach to studying the STEM subjects at 11-14 (KS3/S1-S3).
The STEM Challenges are being managed by STEMNET (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network) in association with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
