Intensive STEM Summer Camps, a Case Study featuring TEMA ( Published: 25/01/2023)

Intensive STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) summer camps were delivered at eighteen schools across England during the summer of 2021, thanks to a partnership between STEM Learning and Goldman Sachs Gives. The camps were designed to support students in improving their curriculum knowledge and to reengage them with formal learning environments after the disruption of COVID-19. The camps also provided teachers with the opportunity to learn new techniques and gain CPD (continuing professional development) from experienced specialist teachers.

Case Study Outcomes

• Outcome 4: Teachers at schools in areas of need benefit from exposure to subject expert teachers
• Outcome 5: Teachers embed this learning in their own practice, improving outcomes for all in the school

Many of the teachers interviewed as part of this evaluation commented that the content from the summer camps had now been incorporated into their science curriculum. The innovative teaching methods demonstrated have been inspiring and helpful for teaching staff to see.
STEM Learning

The partnership with STEM Learning, which started with these summer camps, has been integral to our development. It’s been such a brilliant process, it’s that sharing of expertise and sharing of knowledge which has been so valuable.
