At STEM Crew, we make STEM exciting and relevant by connecting it to real-world innovation through sport. Our FREE resources blend STEM, climate science, and high-performance sport to bring learning to life.

We empower students to think critically, connect ideas, and solve problems.

Skills they’ll need for the challenges of tomorrow.

Why Sport-Inspired Learning?

Context-based learning is key to ensuring teachers put the ‘why’ into learning objectives so that students are able to understand the application of STEM in the real world. Sport offers a dynamic and relatable way to connect STEM concepts to everyday experiences.

By exploring the science behind elite sailing and other high-performance sports, students see how scientific principles such as forces, mechanisms, speed, distance and time come into play in these sporting environments. Whether it is sailing, cycling or Formula one, STEM plays a critical role in delivering results on the racecourse.

This not only makes STEM topics more tangible but also shows their relevance in exciting, real-world applications.

What’s Included in our STEM resources?

• Interactive Lessons: Activities that explore key physics, maths and science concepts such as friction, resistance, and Newton’s laws of motion.

• Real-World Context: Case studies featuring high-performance sports teams and cutting-edge technology.

• Hands-On Experiments: Opportunities for students to measure and calculate, fostering practical skills and engagement.

• Cross-Curricular Links: Lessons that connect physics to maths (data analysis and calculations), design (boat structures), and even teamwork and strategy.
