Who are STEAMWORKS?
STEAMWORKS is a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to get more children engaged in STEM and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, maths and making).
We help schools and communities provide more opportunities to get kids involved by running a range of outstanding schemes across South Yorkshire and the surrounding area.
These include after-school FabLabs, workshop days, holiday clubs, teacher CPD, and Young Science Ambassadors.
STEM + ART = STEAM
We believe that it is essential to include design and creativity with science, technology, engineering and maths, to allow children to innovate and create amazing things!
Think of the beautiful mathematical spirals in nature, or the fusion of creativity and precision in architecture. Engineering uses design and physics to create beautifully useful things.
Science, technology, engineering and maths are playing an important role in future careers, but we must fuse these with creative thought and critical thinking to help young people flourish so they can play a part in making the future.
We’re a proud Children’s University Learning Destination!
As a Children’s University (CU) Learning Destination, our activities will help your child to develop essential life skills as well as having fun, making new friends and building their confidence.
If they have a Children’s University Passport to Learning, they can earn CU credits with us (1 per hour), towards CU Award Certificates and Badges. These are presented at special awards ceremonies.
Contact us to ask how your child can get involved in CU through our activities, or visit www.childrensuniversity.co.uk/
