STEMNET is the Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics Network and has 58 member organisations representing Government industry, the engineering professional institutions, education and education charities. STEMNET is about ensuring that there is a flow of well motivated, high quality people from schools who have an interest in, and an understanding of, engineering related subjects.
STEMNET aims to present a coherent message to teachers and industry about the schemes and initiatives available to enhance and extend the key curriculum subjects of Science, Technology and Mathematics. To bring about collaboration between the various organisations to influence more effectively the teaching of Engineering related subjects. To ensure a more effective communication system for schools and industry.
STEMNET has established SETPOINTS in the UK which operate as a focus for teachers, business and industry to obtain information about resources, schemes and initiatives concerned with Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics.
SETPOINTS are designed to:
- Provide a "one-stop shop" for information about Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics
- Encourage co-operation in the scheduling and organisation of joint projects and events
- Encourage greater publicity for success stories from teachers and students
- Create and promote a focus for distribution and collection of information for teachers, industry and business
- Undertake reviews of local activities, highlighting delivery "gaps" and duplication
- Organise seminars and meetings to disseminate good practice
