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).
Each challenge runs for 6-8 weeks and teams are set tasks via the STEM Challenges website. There is a mixture of hands-on testing, experimental work and research, all backed up with online resources.
A team's entry is judged by STEM Ambassadors at a regional judging event. Shortlisted teams are invited to the national final of each challenge to be in with a chance of winning some very special prizes.
