There are many ways in which STEM subjects help us look at tackling climate change. We are looking for more innovative ways you and your school are trying to make a difference. From gardening clubs and bee keeping in biology to making compost bins and weather stations in tech, design an A4 poster or advert which shows us how you are already making an impact or showcase an idea on how you can get people involved and tell us which STEM subjects are related to your design. Your design can be hand drawn, graphics, and/or test, you decide!
Closing date for entries is 31 May and winners will be announced by 21 June. Entries should be sent electronically to schools@sruc.ac.uk with the subject heading STEM Competition and the name of your school. Entries are welcome from S1 to S6.
