1week to deadline for STEM challenge for schools

STEM Challenge 10
Maths and Science Challenge 2012


STEMNET and Cisco are challenging 11 to 16 year olds to use their maths and science skills to plan a major sporting event in their local area.
The Challenge is to plan a major sporting event that will excite and inspire, transform the local area and showcase local and national talent. Students will choose a sport and a venue or location, and work out what resources, facilities and equipment will be needed for the event. They will also need to provide enough evidence to convince a panel of judges that their event is accessible and sustainable, and that it will leave a lasting legacy for their local area.
Full details about STEM Challenge 10, including how to register your teams, can be found in Steps 1-5 below.
This is the final STEM Challenge in the lead up to London 2012 and will culminate in an exciting Final at Cisco House, London on Friday 6th July.
The full list of support materials for STEM Challenge 10 are listed within Step 5 below and on the Out of the blocks website here. Out of the blocks (www.mathsandscience2012.co.uk) is a series of free Maths and Science resources that Cisco recently produced for London 2012. These resources were sent to Heads of Science and Maths at all state-funded Secondary schools in January 2012.
