About the Activity
STEM Club: Summer Edition
Discover. Build. Create.
STEM Club: Summer Edition is an exciting programme for young people aged 11–16, offering a series of fun, hands-on STEM workshops throughout the summer holidays.
Delivered in collaboration with Muslims in Rail, the programme gives young people the opportunity to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through engaging engineering challenges, creative design projects and interactive team activities.
Led by professionals working across the rail industry, each workshop is designed to inspire curiosity, encourage teamwork and develop problem-solving skills in a fun, practical and supportive environment. No previous STEM experience is required—just a willingness to get involved, have fun and give it a go.
Each workshop explores a different challenge and is a standalone experience, giving families the flexibility to book one workshop, several workshops or the complete Summer Edition series—whatever best suits their summer plans.
