STEM Nation Award Drop-in Sessions
The STEM Nation Award drop-in sessions are open to practitioners from ELC settings, schools and CLD settings who are interested in learning more about the STEM Nation Award programme. These sessions also provide an opportunity for STEM Nation Award applicants to ask questions or seek support with their application from the Education Scotland STEM team.
The regular drop-in sessions take place during morning and afternoon slots to suit the needs of practitioners working across different sectors.
The 30 minute sessions will be hosted on Microsoft Teams, which you can join using a Glow or non-Glow account.
There is no requirement to attend the full session – please feel free to register, drop-in to ask your question and then use the remainder of the time to work on your application… or grab a cuppa before your learners return!
The Microsoft Teams link will be shared with you after you have registered for tickets on Eventbrite using the links below:
Details about these and other STEM sessions delivered by Education Scotland can be found on the Education Scotland Events page (search for STEM) and the Curriculum, Learning, Teaching and Assessment portal.
Although you are welcome to upload STEM Nation Award element evidence at any time, there will be three main validation windows throughout the year. In order to receive feedback before the end of each term we encourage you to upload your evidence by the following deadlines:
- Autumn – Friday 10 October 2025
- Winter – Friday 13 February 2026
- Summer – Friday 26 June 2026
Further support is available from our team of STEM Education Officers. Please contact us at the email below and we will be happy to arrange a time to call or meet with you: STEM@educationscotland.gov.scot
