STEM at Key Stage 3

Our KS3 workshops bridge the transition from primary to secondary, introducing students to more advanced coding, engineering, and design challenges. Sessions are aligned to KS3 Computing, Design & Technology, and Science curricula, giving students practical skills that support their GCSE choices and future STEM pathways.

KS3 STEM workshops are particularly effective as enrichment days or as part of a STEM enrichment week for Years 7 to 9. They are a popular choice for British Science Week activities, giving students hands-on experience with real-world technologies including robotics, drones, AI, and cybersecurity. Our workshops help students see the connection between what they learn in the classroom and careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths.
