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!"
Pam Large, Sacred Heart High School (Challenge 3)

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).
