Fun STEM Activities For Your Primary Classroom!

Minister for Education, Norma Foley recently announced €9 Million funding to help the purchasing of new resources for primary schools.

The current funding is specifically aimed at supporting the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Arts curriculum areas.

Here are some fun and easy STEM activities featuring resources like STEM Explorer, LEGO® Education, STEM Projects, and Botley 2.0 Coding Robot:

Build and Explore with LEGO® Education

The LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential set provides endless opportunities for students to engage in hands-on engineering challenges. Task students with designing a vehicle to transport a load or building a structure that can withstand an “earthquake.” These activities encourage creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills while introducing foundational engineering concepts.

STEM Projects from Prim-Ed

STEM Projects offer a wide range of hands-on activities, from building simple machines to conducting experiments that integrate science, maths, and technology. One fun idea is to have students create a wind-powered car using recycled materials, exploring concepts like energy transfer and aerodynamics.

Introduce coding fundamentals with Botley 2.0, a screen-free coding robot that helps students learn sequencing, loops, and logic. Set up obstacle courses or puzzles for Botley to navigate, challenging students to think critically and problem-solve as they code their way to success. It’s a fantastic way to bring computational thinking to life in the classroom.
