Make STEM meaningful 

Big Bang at School helps students see how STEM connects to the world around them. 

Through activities, workshops and encounters with employers and STEM professionals, students discover how STEM skills are used in real jobs. Plus they can explore future pathways they may never have considered. 

Support careers education 

A Big Bang at School event can help students: 

• explore STEM careers and pathways

Good news. It can also support wider careers education objectives and complement existing enrichment activities.
