Relaunch of the Maker{StoryBox} scheme

This term we're relaunching our story box scheme for children aged 4-7 in partnership with STEM Hub (North Midlands, South & East Yorkshire).

Maker{StoryBox} is a set of themed resources which are available for schools to borrow from the STEM Ambassador Hub free of charge.

Within each Maker{StoryBox} you will find a set of materials linked to a particular theme (examples include engineering, robots and dinosaurs), including a story sack, resources for small word play, a language game, a mathematics game and two STEM based maker activities.  

To submit a loan request contact the STEM Ambassador Hub (North Midlands, South & East Yorkshire) - ambassadors@debp.org
