£700 Bursary Available for STEM Projects in Schools

Funding offered to support hands-on STEM activities in local schools

Schools in the Bradford area have the opportunity to apply for a £700 bursary to support science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) education. The funding is provided by EUK Education to help schools organise their own Big Bang at School events, which focus on practical, interactive STEM learning experiences.

Details of the bursary and Big Bang at School event

The bursary aims to enable schools to deliver a day filled with workshops, project work, and hands-on activities related to STEM subjects. These events are designed to engage students actively, encouraging interest and participation in STEM fields through practical learning rather than traditional classroom teaching alone.

Schools can use the £700 funding to cover costs associated with running the event, including materials, equipment, and any external expertise required to facilitate workshops or activities.

Benefits of hands-on STEM learning

• Encourages student engagement through interactive activities
• Supports development of practical skills alongside theoretical knowledge
• Helps inspire future careers in STEM industries
• Provides opportunities for teamwork and problem-solving

How schools can apply

Schools interested in applying for the bursary should visit the EUK Education website or contact their local education authority for further information on eligibility criteria and application deadlines. The initiative aims to support as many schools as possible in delivering enriching STEM experiences to their students.
