This will take place at the Advanced Technology Centre, Blackpool and The Fylde College Bispham Campus, on Friday January 20th 2017. Schools are asked to nominate two representatives (from any year group) to showcase STEM within their school and convince the judges their school is the best. This could be a STEM club or simply the various kinds of STEM activities the school undertakes. The winning STEM Champions will win £1,000 for their school with two runners up picking up £500 each.
