We want to see all young people continue studying STEM subjects to open up the opportunities for exciting and rewarding careers. That’s why we visit schools and communities around the UK and overseas to run hands-on activities and competitions with school students. RAF STEM RESOURCES We’ve created fun and free STEM activities that you can download for primary and secondary students to use in the classroom or at home. Challenges include activities linked to coding, rockets, design and build, investigate, cyber, virtual experiences and more. RAF STEM resources RAF STEM AMBASSADORS RAF STEM Ambassadors come from all Trades and Branches, with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
