Classroom fun

Need inspiration for fun activities to do in the classroom with your students? Bring your subject to life with our curated collection of one-off experiences and resources that can fit neatly into a lesson! 

Classroom fun

Bring your subject to life with easy one-off activities to do in the classroom.

Why not consider watching a video case study from our real-world engineers or inviting a STEM Ambassador to speak to your students about their career and how they got there? Find out more about engineering jobs from our what is engineering booklet or use the 100 jobs in STEM poster (and associated lesson plan) as a conversation starter.

Some need almost no preparation (think 'plug and play') while others require you to book in advance, but what they all have in common is that they can fit neatly into a lesson.
