Section C
Ob"ectives and activities
STEM in the Community's charitable purpose is to advance (promote,
sustain, and increase the knowledge ofj the education of young people in
the subjects of Scien￿, Technology, Engineering and Maths (also known
as STEM) In addition it is to advance the education of young people in
life-long & social skills such as teamwork, communication, problem
solving, resilience & time management.
Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its
governing document
TAR
March 2012

In undertaking the activities, the trustees have had regard to the
guidan￿ issued by the Charrty Commission on public benefit, they have
carried out this duty at the trustee meetings.
STEM Activities
The actual activities delivered are chosen by the school, youth group,
voluntary or apprenti￿ organisation to best suit & benefit their young
people's (the public) needs and are tailored to the age group and are
designed to engage them in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Maths in a fun hands-on practical way.
The activities are designed to bring the subject alive for the young
people. The activity will help the young people understand why they are
taught Scien￿, Technology and Maths and how those subjects are
applied in the real actual world around them.
In addition, the activities benefit the young people by developing their
self-confiden￿, social and life skills such as Creativity, Teamwork,
Cooperation, Problem Solving, Time management etc. It is very
interesting to note how lockdowns and the whole covid experience has
set back young people's uptake of these skills. These skills can be
referred to as Transferable skills, which they will need to transfer
between their likely four separate careers that they will have over their
working life of fifty plus years! If the group are in the late primary school
years the activities help in their secondary ready socialisation.
The young people are encouraged, at an age-appropriate level, to think
about their future and to consider how they could use their newfound
STEM knowledge in their future employment. Thus, raising the young
people's aspirations and ambition for their future lives and increasing
their knowledge of STEM based careers with their diversity and
availability.
3870 students (ranging in age from 5 to 15), apprentices, scouts and
teachers, members of the public, have benefitted from taking part in
STEM activities, during this reporting year. This equates to approximately
7700 hours of practical hands-on activities, meeting the charity's
objectives.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance

ommission on public
benefit)

Policy on programmes run.
Schools/Apprentice/Youth organisations chose which STEM activity, from
over 89 on offer, to suit their age group and their young people's needs.
By working in multiple schools and working with complete year groups we
ensure that those participating and benefitting represent a true cross
section of the populationlpublic of the area covered. Therefore, there is
no bias related to their personal background, cirCumstan￿s, faith,
gender, ra￿.
Contribution made by volunteers.
We have set up an informal partnership with some local volunteer library
and scout groups, where we provide STEM activities, equipment, the
required materials and training. The volunteers then run the STEM
activities with young members of the public within the library on open
days and on set STEM days or the scout hut.
We assisted the scout group to run a STEM stand at a camival to raise
funds and awareness of their scout hut refurbishment.
At a school event open to other local schools, we had volunteer sixth
form students to help.
At a public event we have had volunteer police cadets assisting.
Using volunteers has greatly increased the number of the public who we
have been able to engage in STEM practical hands-on activities.

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Achievements
STEM in the Community in this period has received funding from 22
different organisations to deliver Science, Technology, Engineering and
Maths (STEM) hands on practical activities.
Activities
Fifteen different STEM activities were delivered to young people aged
from 5 to 15. STEM activities ranged from Shelter making to making a
Moving Toy.
In the STIXX Shelters activity the students use a STIXX machine to roll
six sheets of newspaper into a solid rod 60 cm long. The students in
teams of six design then construct a Shelter large enough for all six to get
into at the same time. They use reusable cable ties to fix the STIXX rods
together and so at the end the structures can be dismantled, the
newspaper STIXX recycled, and the cable ties reused. In this way the
complete construction cycle can be experienced in the school hall.
In addition to reinforcing their knowledge of strong structures, the
students practiced their STEM skills and used a variety of life skills
including creativity, teamwork, communication, cooperation, problem
solving, time management, decision making, resilience, adaptability and
enterprise.
In the Moving Toys the students learn about toys from history before
small motors and computers and how Levers, Pulleys and CAMS can be
used to make toys move. The students individually then make and keep a
Victorian Woodpecker.
Outcomes
Where projected outcomes were required in the funding applications, all
outcomes were exceeded. On completion of some of the projects, where
requested by the funder, the impact was evaluated, 100 % of the teachers
said that the activities greatly benefitted their students in an enjoyable
context and that they would recommend the activity to other teachers.
Project Reports
Where funding organisations have required reports, these have been
completed, on application to the charity, we would be more than happy to
email the full report on the activities delivered, the detailed objectives and
the evaluated results.
Future Plans
Further grants will be applied for, to continue developing young people's
knowledge, understanding, engagement with and enjoyment of STEM.
