Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths : Learning by Doing

The Lab

We have put together a selection of STEM projects that are easy to do at home but at the same time combine a 'wow factor' with real Science and Engineering.

All are directly relevant to the school curiculum.

There are loads more projects in the pipeline so make sure you keep in touch. And remember all of the projects are free to download.

We want safe young scientists so we recommend adult supervision of the Lab projects.
