In The United Kingdom
The National STEM Centre of the UK houses the largest open collection of resources for teachers of science, design and technology, engineering and mathematics in the United Kingdom. Alongside contemporary resource materials, including print, multimedia, and practical resources, is a growing archive collection which showcases several decades of curriculum development.
Resources for use with early years to post-16 students are freely available in both physical and electronic ("eLibrary") collections. These materials include:
- Contemporary print, multimedia, interactive, and practical teaching materials
- Archive of STEM videos from TeachersTV
- Digitised archive resources drawn from recent decades
- Research publications with bearing on classroom practice
- Cross-curricular resources to aid innovative STEM teaching approaches
- The UK Space Education Office (ESERO-UK) collection of space education resources
To foster colleagues work with the resource collections, an online Community is freely available. The Community include options for teachers to collate links to resources from the eLibrary or elsewhere on the web in ‘My lists’, and share their own materials and ideas in ‘Groups’.
Further information on how to access the eLibrary, as well as how to register with the National STEM Centre, is available from the National STEM Centre.
