To establish STEM partners in your local context, you can survey families about their backgrounds (you can use this Microsoft Form template and adapt as you wish) and contact local businesses and organisations that are close in proximity to your setting. Once you have established your closest connections, you can also look wider and potentially establish connections that you can utilise online.

The video below discusses building effective partnerships in STEM learning.

Another great way to establish partnerships is requesting support from STEM Ambassadors. You need a free login for the STEM.org.uk website, then you can post an advert for support depending on what support you are looking for. Key dates and celebration weeks are always busier, so ensure you advertise in plenty of time!
