It was amazing to hear the children talking about it at break time and being excited for their session.
Intermediate STEMbotics
This has been fantastic, we've seen them work in totally different ways and it's just what they need.
Intermediate STEMbotics
The children have really enjoyed getting hands on with the robots and have enjoyed the challenge of trying to navigate them correctly.
Intermediate STEMbotics
Our Year 4 pupils experienced a fabulous day with Antony as part of their Design Technology Project! They used Lego WeDo 2 kits to build and program robots incorporating levers and pulleys.
Beginner STEMbotics
All students had great opportunities to talk and share ideas then use practical approaches to engineering and coding. The sessions really made some students think about new or different career options.

STEM in Stoke-on-Trent: Why It Matters for Your Students
Why is STEM education important in Stoke-on-Trent?
Stoke-on-Trent is a city rewriting its own story, and the new chapters are being written in code. The ceramics heritage hasn't disappeared; it's evolved into advanced materials science serving aerospace and medical industries. Staffordshire University is producing graduates in cybersecurity and games design. But the city needs more. Schools that prioritise STEM enrichment now are doing something genuinely transformative: ensuring that the next generation can participate in the city's economic reinvention rather than being left behind by it.
What is Stoke-on-Trent’s STEM heritage?
Stoke-on-Trent's identity is inseparable from its ceramics heritage, a story of scientific innovation spanning nearly three centuries. Josiah Wedgwood founded his pottery works in Burslem in 1759 and revolutionised the industry through systematic experimentation with materials and glazes, developing the pyrometer that earned him election as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1783. The city's pottery industry demanded constant advances in chemistry, materials science, and kiln engineering, making Stoke-on-Trent a centre of applied science in Industrial Revolution Britain.
Which STEM role models are linked to Stoke-on-Trent?
Josiah Wedgwood stands as one of the great figures of British science and industry, combining entrepreneurial vision with genuine scientific inquiry. Reginald Mitchell, born in nearby Kidsgrove in 1895, became one of the most important aeronautical engineers in British history, designing the Supermarine Spitfire that proved decisive in the Battle of Britain. Oliver Lodge, the physicist and pioneer of radio communication, was born in Penkhull, Stoke-on-Trent, in 1851 and went on to become the first principal of the University of Birmingham.
What STEM industries are in Stoke-on-Trent?
While the traditional pottery industry has contracted, Stoke-on-Trent is reinventing itself through technology, advanced materials, and digital enterprise. The ceramics heritage has evolved into advanced ceramics for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. Lucideon provides materials testing and development services to industries worldwide.
What STEM career opportunities are available for young people in Stoke-on-Trent?
Stoke-on-Trent offers career pathways bridging traditional manufacturing excellence with cutting-edge digital technology. The advanced ceramics sector provides opportunities in materials science, chemical engineering, and manufacturing technology. Staffordshire University offers programmes in computing, games design, cybersecurity, and digital forensics. Nearby Keele University adds further STEM strength in chemistry, physics, and geosciences.
