The Royal Hospital School (RHS) and the Royal Academy of Engineering have announced STEMFest, an event for East Anglian schools on 21 November 2019.
STEMFest will include a careers event held at the Royal Academy, featuring STEM-focused organisations and teams from the NHS, the police and armed forces, demonstrating the practical application of STEM skills in their work.

The event will also have two shows from the Royal Institution, an independent science charity, for students, and will also have an appearance from Codey Rockey, a robot that allows primary-age children to learn about programming through play.
Students will see how STEM can look for them now as well as in the future, capturing technologies that will change our world and how we see it.

Beverly Maloney, founder of STEMFest and D&T teacher at RHS, said: “STEMFest is a fantastic opportunity for students ranging from years 5–13 to come together and see what STEM has to offer, engaging in interactive displays and embedding some of the learning that is going on in schools in the local area.
“Students will see how STEM can look for them now as well as in the future, capturing technologies that will change our world and how we see it.”
