ENABLING SCHOOLS TO INSPIRE FUTURE INVENTORS, ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS, MAKERS AND
DIGITAL MASTERMINDS!





WHAT IS STEAMWORKS?



STEAMWORKS is a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to get more children
engaged in STEM and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, maths and
making). We help schools and communities provide more opportunities to get kids
involved by running a range of outstanding schemes throughout the UK. These
include after-school FabLabs, workshop days, teacher CPD and Young Science
Ambassadors. We also provide expert advice and consultancy on STEM and STEAM
outreach and education.

STEM+ART=STEAM

We believe that it is essential to include design and creativity with science,
technology, engineering and maths, to allow children to innovate and create
amazing things! If we look closely, it has always been there, but just not
recognised. Think of the beautiful mathematical spirals in nature, or the fusion
of creativity and precision in architecture. Engineering uses design and physics
to create beautifully useful things. Science, technology, engineering and maths
are playing an increasingly important role in future careers, but we must fuse
these with creative thought to help young people flourish so they can play a
part in making the future.

AFTER SCHOOL FABLABS


Book a FabLab place

Our Junior FabLab STEAM (STEM) clubs allow 4-11 year olds to explore science,
technology, engineering and maths through hands-on, creative after school clubs
in their school. Each club contains either a practical challenge, an experiment
or a project to make and take home. STEM or STEAM Clubs are a great way for
young people to explore how things work, tinker and explore. If you would like
to start a Junior FabLab in your school, get in touch and we will see if we have
club leaders free in your area. If you would like to become a Junior FabLab club
leader, we would love to hear from you!

NEED SOMETHING MORE CHALLENGING?

Our Junior FabLab clubs are aimed at KS2 pupils and combine design & technology
with computing, robotics, electronics and 3D printing. During each half term
block, children work towards designing and making a product they can take home.
They learn loads of new technical skills such as soldering and 3D CAD modelling
and make things such as personalised keyrings manufactured using 3D pens and USB
powered lamps.

YOUNG SCIENCE AMBASSADORS



We want to help schools raise the profile of science and get children involved!
Young Science Ambassadors is an outstanding national scheme that allows your
pupils to take the lead in championing and raising the profile of science across
the school. The Young Science Ambassador scheme helps to empower children
through science, by training a small group and equipping them with the tools and
expertise to become ambassadors and get their whole school excited about
science!

“FABULOUS WAY TO GET KIDS EXCITED BY SCIENCE! BRILLIANTLY ENTHUSIASTIC
FACILITATOR, WHOSE LOVE OF SCIENCE SHONE THROUGH!”

ACTIVITY WORKSHOPS



We run STEM and STEAM based enrichment workshops, career awareness and outreach
days in schools and colleges. Whether it is British Science Week, Space Week,
International Women in Engineering Day or any other day for that matter, we can
bring all the resources and expertise to give your pupils a day they will never
forget!

CORPORATE EVENTS

STEAMWORKS is not just for kids! We want everyone to have a go at getting
creative with science, technology, engineering and making. Are you looking for a
team building challenge or ways to promote positive mental health? Our
activities can be designed to suit the needs of your organisation and you will
be amazed at how creative your team can be!

Seed bombs are a brilliant way to rewild our urban landscapes, introduce
wildlife to your back garden or window box, or even get into some guerrilla
gardening!

Here's a seed bomb we made at a recent FabLab.
