STEM

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. There are two main strands to the STEM activities supported by the government: professional development and curriculum enrichment.

Professional development

You can find details of professional development opportunities for London Science Teachers on these web sites:

• Science Learning Centre London
• Science Enhancement Programme
• Association for Science Education
• Institute of Physics
• Royal Society of Chemistry.

Curriculum enrichment

The London STEM Support Centre has a web site with a directory of the many ways that you can enrich the science curriculum for your students.

The London Region of ASE runs a web site called London City of Science. A section of the site describes ways that you can use selected examples of science in London to enrich your teaching.
