24 Feb Teaching STEM shouldn’t feel hard, find out why thousands of teachers are turning to STEM Crew

A report by Engineering UK found that 90% of teachers say they face barriers when trying to provide STEM activities, and research shows that your confidence in teaching climate change directly links to whether you have access to quality resources to work with.

81% of students are now being taught STEM subjects by non-specialist teachers. If that’s you, you’re definitely not alone.

We understand the pressure to teach STEM and emerging topics like climate and AI can feel overwhelming, and we know that for many young people when STEM subjects feel abstract, they disengage.

That’s exactly why we created STEM Crew

We use sport-inspired learning to bring science and maths to life, helping young people connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world.

Students get to see how Formula 1 and sailing teams use physics, how engineers solve actual problems, and what STEM careers actually look like. Because sometimes it’s not that you’re “not good” at something—you just haven’t seen it in a way that makes sense to you yet.

When students see STEM in action like this, it makes all the difference.

We know 52% of teachers list funding as a critical barrier to teaching STEM, while nearly half (49%) said time was a huge pressure.  That’s why all our resources are curriculum aligned and come with everything you need: lesson ready plans, work sheets, expert videos that do the explaining, and activities that are easy to use.

Everything we do is free, no hidden costs, just practical support that works in real classrooms.
