Everything you need to get started
The Big Bang Challenge provides ready-to-use resources that to help you deliver STEM project work in the classroom, a STEM club or enrichment programme.
The resources guide students through each stage of a project, helping them develop ideas, investigate solutions and reflect on their progress.
Flexible resources for your students
Challenges can be delivered in a variety of ways, from a single lesson to a longer-term project.
You can choose themes most relevant to your students and adapt activities to suit your teaching objectives and available time.
Celebrate achievement
The Challenge includes certificates and recognition resources to help celebrate students' progress and STEM skills.
Use badges, certificates and project milestones to recognise creativity, teamwork and problem-solving throughout the project journey.
Take learning further
Students who enjoy The Big Bang Challenge may choose to develop their ideas further and explore opportunities through The Big Bang Competition.
Entering The Big Bang Competition pushed me to step outside my comfort zone and develop both soft and hard skills that I know will support me in the future.
