STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) is an initiative which links four academic subjects together and relates them to industries in the real world.

STEM Enrichment & Enhancement

Lancashire Education Business Partnership is part of the National Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Network (STEMNET) which is funded through two Government departments; DIUS (Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills) and DCSF (Department of Children, Schools and Families). More information about STEMNET nationally can be found at their website; www.stemnet.org.uk

Previously branded as SETPOINT Lancashire, Lancashire Education Business Partnership now holds the STEMPoint contract for Lancashire. Through this contract we strive to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to participate in Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM) activities which link schools to the 'world of work'.

Lancashire Education Business Partnership are skilled in facilitating links between education and the wider STEM community, providing a high quality, personal service to all schools and colleges throughout Lancashire.

Our role is to work in partnership with education, business and other agencies to provide:

• A 'one stop shop' for information on STEM resources, schemes and initiatives.

• Delivery and co-ordination of STEM events and projects by pulling together a whole range of STEM Partners and Organisations.

• Provision of bespoke STEM activity to schools.

• The cascade of STEM success stories from teachers, students and business in order to encourage more STEM activity involvement from schools.

• Linking STEM Ambassadors with schools and colleges to encourage more young people to understand the opportunities that a STEM career can offer them.
