Bring STEM to life in your school

Whether you're organising your first STEM day, strengthening your careers programme, or looking for enrichment opportunities, the Blueprint is packed with practical guidance and inspiration.

Designed to help schools create their own version of The Big Bang Fair, the Blueprint brings together hands-on STEM activities, careers inspiration, planning tools and event guidance.

Teachers and educators can use as much or as little as they like. Activities can be tailored to suit your students, timetable and school priorities.

The Blueprint includes: 

  • practical guidance for planning and delivering a successful STEM event 

  • curriculum-linked resources and activity ideas 

  • support for engaging employers, volunteers and STEM organisations 

  • information about funding opportunities and additional support 

Tailor your event to your students

Every Big Bang at School event looks different. You could organise a dedicated STEM day, a carousel of workshops, employer encounters, project showcases or a whole school STEM celebration. The Blueprint helps teachers and educators create an experience that works for their students and their school community.  

By combining hands-on activities with real-world careers inspiration, Big Bang at School helps young people discover where STEM could take them. Schools can use the Blueprint to support careers education, enrich the curriculum and showcase the exciting opportunities available across science, technology, engineering and maths.  

Register now to access the Blueprint and start planning your event. Additional Blueprint activities and regional content packs will be added soon, giving you even more resources to support your Big Bang at School event.
