Get involved with new activities and opportunities for schools
We’re now just over a month into the new year and we are excited to announce a range of new activities and opportunities for schools to get involved with on EUK Education.
Check out what’s on offer below – from free climate resources and facilitator-led workshops to a hands-on STEM fair and a collection of new engineering activities – all free of change!
Start a Climate Action Club
What is a Climate Action Club? It is an extra-curricular club for students aged 11 to 14 to work on engineering or technology-based projects which take action to reduce a school’s and/or a community’s contribution to climate change.
The Climate Action Club helps stimulate debate and interest in young people by with a solutions-focused message. By looking at what they can do to improve their school or local community’s contribution to climate change the clubs gives them a proactive and solutions-based approach.

Get a free Energy Quest facilitator-led workshop
Thanks to our partnership with the Volvo For Life Fund, schools in Scotland, Wales, Midlands, London and the South East can apply to have a free facilitator come in to deliver a 2h Energy Quest workshop for their students.
Energy Quest is a curriculum aligned science lesson workshop for 11 to 13 year olds, introducing them to the concept of 'acting like an engineer’. Students work in teams, using their problem-solving skills and science knowledge to solve a real-life scenario.
Attend The Big Bang Fair
Take your students on a journey into STEM they won’t forget! Book free tickets to the UK’s largest celebration of STEM for young people. Taking place 17 to 19 June at the NEC in Birmingham, The Big Bang Fair is full of exciting hands-on activities, mind-boggling shows, interactive workshops and a chance to meet inspiring scientists and engineers.
Explore what’s new on Neon
Inspire your students with a collection of brand-new STEM activities for your class. From Lego and robotics to climate change and creativity, there’s something in there for everyone.
The activities are held in-school, online, and offsite and will show your students how engineering and technology shape the world we live in. They will inspire them to think about how they could help solve important challenges and create a more sustainable future.

Enter The Big Bang Competition
Inspire students to bring their ideas to life with The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Competition. Got a class who love solving problems? Enter a STEM project with your students by 26 March to develop skills and get a chance to become UK Young Scientist, Engineer or Technologist of the Year.
From climate change to robots to life-saving healthcare, The Big Bang Competition celebrates projects of all shapes and sizes.
[the resources] expanded it much further than the existing curriculum and it gave the children kind of a chance to think about it other than just facts and stuff that they need to know for their GCSEs it was like, well, actually, let's think about this in a different way.
