The presenter has been impeccable in their explanations which has allowed every student to excel and have fun with programming and flying drones!
Bringing problem solving and coding into real life experiences was fantastic, helping to link both skills and curriculum knowledge.
The delivery of the workshop and engagement of pupils was excellent.
Students had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It was insightful for them to understand ways in which STEM can be applied outside the classroom.
Great for children to see what the point is of learning maths.
This session was extremely accessible for all students, those who typically find these activities challenging excelled and had a great time.
STEM in Kent: Why It Matters for Your Students
A History of Innovation
Kent has a rich STEM heritage rooted in maritime engineering, defence and innovation. The Royal Dockyard at Chatham built and maintained warships for the Royal Navy for over four centuries, from the Elizabethan era to the nuclear age, training generations of engineers, shipwrights and naval architects. The Channel Tunnel, completed in 1994, remains one of the greatest civil engineering achievements of the twentieth century and its Kent terminal at Folkestone is a testament to the county's connection with large-scale infrastructure. Marconi conducted some of his earliest wireless telegraphy experiments along the Kent coast, and the county's proximity to mainland Europe has made it a gateway for technological exchange for centuries.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Charles Darwin lived and worked at Down House in the Kent village of Downe for forty years, producing On the Origin of Species and fundamentally reshaping our understanding of the natural world. Guglielmo Marconi carried out wireless experiments along the Kent coast that helped establish radio communication as a practical technology. Barnes Wallis tested his bouncing bomb prototypes at Reculver on the Kent coast before they were used in the Dambusters raid. More recently, Kent has produced engineers and scientists who have contributed to projects ranging from the Channel Tunnel to modern aerospace.
Kent’s STEM Economy Today
Kent's STEM landscape is shaped by its position as a major logistics and infrastructure corridor, its defence heritage and a growing technology sector. The Discovery Park enterprise zone near Sandwich, built on the former Pfizer research campus, is now home to over 160 science, technology and healthcare companies. The Medway towns have a growing cluster of engineering and digital businesses, supported by the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University. Ashford's commercial quarter and Ebbsfleet Garden City are attracting technology firms drawn by excellent transport links. BAE Systems, QinetiQ, and other defence technology companies maintain operations in the county.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Kent students have access to a widening range of STEM career pathways. Discovery Park offers roles in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and healthcare innovation. The engineering and logistics sectors around the Channel Tunnel and the Port of Dover provide careers in civil engineering, transport technology, and supply chain management. The University of Kent offers strong programmes in computing, engineering, and data science. Apprenticeships in IT, construction technology, digital marketing, and advanced manufacturing are available through local employers and training providers across the county.
Investing in STEM Education in Kent
Kent sits at a crossroads of opportunity. Discovery Park is training the next generation of life scientists on a world-class campus. The defence technology sector continues to recruit. The county's logistics and infrastructure industries are increasingly driven by automation, AI and data analytics. Yet too many Kent students leave school without hands-on experience of the technologies that underpin these industries. For headteachers, STEM enrichment is about ensuring students across the county, from the Medway towns to Thanet and the rural villages in between, have the skills and confidence to access the careers that are growing right here in Kent.
