GoConstruct K’Nex Challenge
Our 2024 GoConstruct K’Nex Challenge starts soon and registrations are now closed. Primary schools in Hertfordshire, Luton, Peterborough, Essex and Suffolk will be taking part in an exciting hands-on engineering challenge with pupils in Years 5 & 6 working in pairs to meet the brief, led by a trained STEM Ambassador.
This annual challenge is sponsored by the CITB Go Construct and Endava to enable us to offer it at a subsidised cost of £65 per school. Places fill up fast, so keep an eye out for our registration flyer in September to take part in 2025.

CREST Awards are run nationally by the British Science Association, and STEMPOINT is proud to be the Regional CREST Support Organisation for the East of England.
Typically completed by 5-11 year olds, CREST Star and Superstar challenges relate to everyday experiences. Children complete eight activities to gain a CREST Award, with each activity taking between 45 -60 minutes to complete.
The activities are designed to be easy-to-run and low cost. You don’t need to be a teacher, have a science background or have access to specialist equipment to run them. The packs contain helpful hints and tips for you to use, explaining the scientific themes and offering guidance on conversation topics for your children.
You can find helpful resources and ideas on the website too, so why not encourage your pupils to tap into their creativity and curiosity and complete their own investigations!
