Why STEMWORKS

A curriculum-grade programme, not a novelty activity.

STEMWORKS is designed to sit alongside your existing curriculum as a credible, structured STEM offering that principals can explain confidently to parents.

  • Full-year structured curriculum

    48 lessons sequenced across four learning levels.

  • Screen-free child experience

    No tablets, laptops or personal devices in child-facing activities.

  • K1 / K2 differentiation

    Two age-appropriate tracks from the same curriculum spine.

  • Hands-on learning

    Physical materials, grids, missions and building challenges.

  • Professional teaching materials

    Lesson plans, mission cards and classroom guidance.

  • Instructor delivery framework

    A consistent structure for how each session runs.

  • Physical STEM kit

    Equipment and mission materials supplied for classroom delivery.

  • Parent communication materials

    Clear explanations of what children are learning and why.

  • Progress observations

    Simple, developmentally appropriate observation prompts.

  • Achievement programme

    Four levels leading to a closing certificate.

Programme depth

Not an 8-Week Enrichment Course

STEMWORKS is designed as a year-long learning journey rather than a short workshop series. Concepts are introduced gradually, revisited in new contexts and then applied in increasingly challenging missions — which is how young children build durable understanding.

  • One-off novelty sessions

    A sequenced 12-month curriculum

  • A single skill demonstrated

    Concepts revisited and deepened across four levels

  • Excitement that fades

    Progression children and parents can see

  • Activity for its own sake

    Missions tied to defined learning intentions

What schools receive

Programme delivery

How a partnership runs, step by step.

  1. 01

    Scoping conversation

    We discuss your centre, age groups, timetable and objectives.

  2. 02

    Programme planning

    Levels, lesson cadence and classroom logistics are confirmed.

  3. 03

    Setup & materials

    Kit, lesson materials and mission environments are prepared.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Instructor-led sessions run to the structured lesson plans.

  5. 05

    Observation & reporting

    Progress observations and parent updates through the year.

  6. 06

    Achievement close

    Level milestones and the closing certificate presentation.

K1 / K2 adaptation

Differentiated without splitting the curriculum.

Both year groups follow the same journey; the depth, sequence length and independence expected of them differ.

K1

Discover & Explore

Shorter sequences, more guided demonstration, sensory exploration and lots of movement. The emphasis is on curiosity, vocabulary and safe routines.

  • 2–4 step command sequences
  • Guided, teacher-led missions
  • Emphasis on observation and language
  • Simple grid work and direction games
K2

Think, Plan & Engineer

Longer sequences, independent planning within small teams, structured debugging conversations and early engineering and design challenges.

  • Longer multi-step routes and loops
  • Team planning with less scaffolding
  • Structured debugging and reflection
  • Design and build challenges

Safety

Designed With Safety at the Centre

Every element of STEMWORKS is designed to support safe, controlled classroom delivery in a preschool environment.

  • Protected educational drones
  • Age-appropriate equipment
  • Defined activity zones
  • Instructor-controlled live-flight activities
  • Clear take-off and landing procedures
  • Physical separation during flight
  • Child-friendly safety routines

Parent engagement

Give parents language for what their child is learning.

STEMWORKS includes parent-facing materials that explain the screen-free approach and the thinking behind each stage of the year.

  • Programme introduction materials for parent communications
  • Explanations of the screen-free rationale
  • Level and milestone updates through the year
  • Simple, developmentally appropriate progress observations
  • Achievement and certificate presentation support

Achievement programme
