Throughout the pandemic All About STEM has stood out to schools across the North West as its support has been non-stop – in fact, its offered more not less!
The team has created free daily resource collections for teachers and learners during lockdown and beyond and have always been the go-to-team for STEM news and resources, STEM ambassadors, STEM club support, CREST Awards, Nuffield Research Placements, careers and apprenticeships.
One thing that makes All About STEM special is that the schools and organisations it works with become family – they care, it’s quality not quantity. It strives to make sure offers are fully-funded to protect school budgets, it believes that every school and learner deserves the best, it works hard to make teachers’ lives easier and it continually reaches out to team-up with like-minded inspirational organisations to create current, valuable support.
This has been proven in the last six months alone, as its provision has expanded exponentially courtesy of its dedicated team and phenomenal partnerships.

Unilever
Unilever have sponsored STEM spectaculars managed by All About STEM, inspiring thousands of children and young people. It teamed-up to facilitate Unilever’s work experience offer and collaborate permanently on the hugely successful Bright Future Programme for schools.
The Bright Future Aspire Project is a bespoke digital programme, co-created by Unilever, All About STEM and local teachers. It is aimed at students in Y10-13. Following successful registration on the programme, teachers are able to download video content, supporting material and teacher guides to enable them to facilitate the programme with their students in class.
Students are set the challenge of developing an eco-friendly product idea which they submit online to Unilever for judging.

ScottishPower
Previously, ScottishPower has co-sponsored STEM events managed by All About STEM and partnered directly with them to develop renewable power workshops. Aimed at Year 5 and 6, learners looked at processes and energy sources and were inspired by building and making renewable power themselves using All About STEM’s specially-designed kits.
All About STEM and ScottishPower plan to celebrate their alliance in 2021 with a whole series of new activities for schools.
This promises to be a powerful partnership that will create sparks of inspiration for younger learners and light the way for older students to exciting energy careers.
Michelle Dow, All About STEM, managing director said: “We love collaborating! All About STEM is known for providing teachers and learners with meaningful opportunities, resources and activities and connecting schools with businesses. We know that by joining forces with other amazing organisations and combining our skills that we can collectively offer so much more.
“As a team, it is essential to us that our partners have the same passion for inspiring young people as we do and there is no doubt of that here. They are all dedicated to enthusing the next STEM generation and we are so proud to work with them. We’re always excited to work with new schools, organisations and businesses – get in touch!”
