Creativity Club

The project will help parents and carers to feel more confident in supporting their children with STEM and creative design activities and careers.
They will value sharing their understanding of science and technology with their children, and be more likely to encourage their children to study and pursue careers in science, technology and creative design industries.
Children will feel welcome and included and they will gain confidence to carry out scientific, technical and creative activities. They will share their knowledge and understanding with their parents.

There are a number of routes to dissemination that the project team will pursue:
- Sharing the project resources with NUSTEMs network of 34 North East Primary schools through a pre-existing Primary Science Coordinators Forum to allow schools to use the materials to run their own after-school Creativity Clubs.
- Sharing via partner organisations such as Museums Northumberland and Engineering UK
- Presentations at practitioner conferences such as ASE conference
- Sharing through STFC networks
- Sharing through Success4All networks

In addition, a case study about the project, and the resources developed will be offered to the Careers and Enterprise Company website. STEM Learning who manage the STEM Clubs Network will also be approached to disseminate the materials via their networks. NUSTEM will write an article about the project and the resources for a practictioner publications such as Primary Science magazine.
Researchers who have been involved with the project will be encouraged to include information about the work in presentations given at conferences, and through their interaction with researchers in other institutions.
