Stem In School Pathways

Where could your favourite STEM subject take you? 

Science

If science experiments in the classroom are your favourite thing about STEM at school, then you could use your skills of inquiry and problem solving to make discoveries and find solutions to real-world challenges. 

Technology

Technology subjects at school are often the subjects students love the most, using skills like coding and design. If you enjoy using your creativity in Design Technology, or seeing how new technologies improve our everyday lives in subjects like Industrial Technology or Food Technology, you are already engaging in the ways of thinking that make STEM innovations possible!  

Engineering 

Engineering combines maths, science & creative problem solving.! If you love finding practical solutions to problems, engineering is all about understanding how things work to design, construct, improve and maintain the infrastructure and technology we couldn’t live without.  

From the design and construction of aircraft, building smart cities, to monitoring the health of our environments, engineering career options are limitless. 

Maths 

If maths is your strong point, you can use passion for all things mathematics to set a strong foundation for a career in STEM.  

From studying the environment, virtual reality to launching spacecraft — mathematics makes our greatest ideas possible. Your ability to use numbers, measurements and calculations to creatively solve complex problems can lead to a limitless number of STEM careers. 

If you are driven by curiosity and love finding new solutions to problems, look no further than our STEM for primary students FUTURE YOU website to discover where your interests can take you!  

STEM for students is fun, interesting and diverse and can lead to many different careers pathways. From environmental science to renewable energies and even video game design, the options are endless.
