On Neon, you can explore a curated collection of free STEM experiences – available online or in-school – designed to fit seamlessly into end-of-term lessons. As the UK’s dedicated platform for quality-assured STEM activities, Neon helps primary and secondary educators find experiences across science, technology, engineering and maths.

Neon is also featured in the Department for Education’s enrichment framework, supporting teachers to plan high-quality STEM experiences with confidence.

Dan Powell, Head of Neon, said:

“End-of-term is a powerful opportunity to spark curiosity and inspire students to think about their future. With Neon, educators can easily bring real-world STEM into the classroom through high-quality, engaging experiences that show young people where their learning can take them.

Whether it’s a live session with a STEM professional or an interactive challenge, these activities are designed to leave a lasting impression, right before the summer break.”

You might be short on time, but we’re not short on ideas. From aerospace and meteorology to pollution control and sustainable farming, there are plenty of ways to engage students. Including through gameplay, assemblies and live virtual chats with real scientists and engineers.

Explore experiences such as: 

  • Skills Miner Home Energy: interactive challenges where students tackle energy use and sustainability in the home
  • AtkinsRéalis virtual work experience: step into the world of engineering and project delivery through a flexible work experience programme
  • I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here: connect with real scientists in interactive live chats and ask their own questions
  • Enspire City: a digital cityscape where students explore how engineers shape the world around them

All activities are ready to use with minimal prep, so teachers can focus on engaging, not planning.

Whether you have an hour or a full day, Neon makes it easy to give students a send-off they’ll remember.
