Short answer
?Possibly, with conditions
Allocated fundingAllocated each year, no application round
The money goes to local authorities, not schools. The guidance covers social, cultural, creative and physical activities and experiences outside formal learning, and allows delivery by third-party providers, so an out-of-lesson STEM activity could be funded if your local authority chooses to use it that way.

How to use it for a workshop
Ask the school's local authority whether it has allocated School Enrichment Opportunities funding for the year and whether a STEM workshop delivered by an external provider is an eligible use, since the guidance names third-party delivery as acceptable.
