Collaborate, Create & Learn YOUR way!
Classic STEM sessions
Our classic STEMPunx sessions are a great introduction to a variety of STEM subjects. Sessions endeavour to incorporate a variety of learning styles and while adult led, have plenty of opportunities for learning through play and both practical and academic learning. You can expect activities to encompass some aspect of differentiation, however we love to encourage peer support during sessions, so older children and younger children can work together to encourage confidence and independence.
Sessions numbers are currently limited to 12 or less allowing us to work closely with learners which works great for learners who may need a little more attention or consideration.
Suitable for ages 6+
Soft Engineering
When you think engineering do you think cranes, buildings and hard hats? This soft engineering course is all about repurposing unconventional or scrap materials to make usable items. You will develop a variety of skills which can encourage independent problem solving, fine motor skills and creative thinking, all of which are essential skills for engineers.
Each session will introduce a new technique or use a regular material in an unusual way and these mini skills can then be developed into larger creative endeavours. We will use textiles, paper, learn construction skills as well as sewing skills and create some wonderful and very individual items. All materials are provided for you at each session but you might want to bring some of your favourite fabric, scraps or decorative notions along with you to really make your creations your own.
Sessions numbers are currently limited to 8 or less and advance booking is essential too avoid disappointment.
Suitable for ages 8+ and their grownups.
Mystery Mechanics Lab
Come and join STEMPunx Lincs in a mechanics laboratory. Develop hands on engineering skills to build original science kits from the likes of the Clementoni Science Museum range, learn about the STEM behind the kit through informal discussion and have fun with your peers.
​
Written instructions will let you crack on with your build or, where the build kit allows, you can follow along with the guided interactive instructions on screen* ( you will need to bring your own appropriate, wi-fi enabled device to be able to follow digital instructions)

Family Drop in sessions
Drop in for an informal STEM learning experience, suitable for the whole family.
We have an indoor base, an outdoor space and access to some wonderful cake! We might be doing some junk modelling, learning some neat science tricks or out and about on a scavenger hunt or saving a little bit of the world with an eco-themed activity. There may be some engineering, there may be games or challenges and we may even get you doing maths without you even realising!
Whatever we do, we can promise a little bit of learning and a dash of fun ...
There is a great cafe and easy access to Grant Thorold Park, so even if you aren't sure whether you want to join in with the activities, why not come down for a drink and cake and see what you think?
Drop in anytime from 10:30am, and complete one activity, many or none ( we can do conversation too)
We finish at 1:30pm.
Session suitable for families. Activities suitable for children aged 5+ with help.
Advance booking not necessary. Adults remain responsible for their charges throughout the session.
