Community STEM Clubs
(Primary Schools)
STEM Force supports the establishment of Community STEM Clubs led by Primary (Elementary) school teachers and STEM Ambassadors. These clubs aim to inspire children and families through engaging and interactive STEM activities. Participants will have the opportunity to explore engineering design challenges, create various toys, and use them for investigations, problem-solving, and challenges.
Our STEM clubs are designed to captivate young minds, foster imagination, and ignite curiosity through exciting hands-on STEM activities. Participants will have the chance to develop critical thinking skills, engage in fun experiments, and explore the world around them. By participating in challenges and problem-solving activities, they will also gain the confidence to apply new ideas.
Moreover, the clubs extend the excitement and fun through in-depth investigations and encourage children and their families to create artifacts or toys that they can take home. These experiences provide unforgettable moments and aim to cultivate a long-lasting understanding and love for STEM.
STEM Force is committed to ensuring productive and effective experiences within our Community STEM Clubs. To achieve this, we provide comprehensive capacity building programs for STEM Teachers and STEM Ambassadors. Our goal is to equip educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to create engaging and impactful learning environments.
In addition to capacity building, we offer valuable guidance and support materials specifically tailored for teachers and STEM Ambassadors. These resources are designed to assist them in delivering high-quality STEM activities that inspire and engage club participants. You can even try some of these activities at home using materials readily available for purchase at local shops. Simply visit the Resources menu on our website and navigate to the Professional Resources section to download the Inspire examples. Developed by one of our highly skilled Senior Specialists, these examples were originally created for the Inspire Community Science Clubs in the UK.
The Inspire project was a groundbreaking initiative that involved 400 schools and their communities across the UK. It played a significant role in the establishment of the national STEM after-school club program. Inspire was funded by Shell Education Service.
