29. S.T.E.M. at
Clarence
House
25th January 2017

30. S.T.E.M. S.T.E.M. stands for Science,
Technology, Engineering and
Maths
S.T.E.M. learning helps us to
develop a set of thinking,
reasoning, teamwork,
investigative and creative
skills that we can use in all
areas of our future lives.
S.T.E.M. is really good fun!

31. S.T.E.M.
challenge
So rather than
talking to you
about S.T.E.M.,
we would like
you to join in
and try it
yourself!
We will bring
S.T.E.M. goody
bags to your
tables now.
Don’t open them
yet!

32. The
spaghetti
and
marshmallow
challenge
Your task is to build a free-
standing tower that will hold
the egg for at least 30
seconds, using only the
equipment provided.
The team with the tallest tower
(that also holds the egg!) is
the winner.
You have ten minutes.

33. WHY S.T.E.M.?
We are living in a time when jobs, the economy, and technology are
changing at a rapid pace.
We want to equip our girls to be citizens of the future, regardless
of whether they choose a S.T.E.M. pathway or not.

34. S.T.E.M.
is a skill
for life
“Education should prepare young
people for jobs that do not exist
yet, using technologies that have not
been invented, to solve problems of
which we are not yet aware”
Richard Riley - 6th United States Secretary of
Education
