Win £3000 for your club and an exclusive visit to the Science Museum!
Would you like to win £3000 worth of equipment for your STEM Club? Would you like to go on an exclusive visit to the Science Museum? You'll have a curator-led tour of the museum, a private viewing of the "Who am I?" exhibition, a behind-the-scenes tour of the IMAX theatre and time in the Launchpad gallery.
What's more, we'll cover the expenses for up to six pupils and two adults, including transport, accommodation and meals.
This is the top prize of the Anti-Doping Challenge, brought to you by STEMNET as part of the STEM Challenges series. There are also runner-up prizes:
Second prize = £1500 worth of equipment
Third prize = £750 worth of equipment
You'll get to choose the equipment, of course, from a shortlist of suppliers.
Anti-Doping Challenge
Stage One
Students are challenged to prove their proficiency at providing a mock-up of a laboratory service. It is a scaled down version of the International Accreditation process.
The challenge asks them to demonstrate:
- that they can assemble and use certain apparatus.
- how well they can use tests to analyse samples, identify and/or measure specified substances.
- Teams will need to provide video/photographic and written evidence of their proficiency.
Stage Two
The students work with unknown samples and produce a report on their analysis.
Both stages will be judged together, in school, by visiting judges (STEM Ambassadors). Shortlisted teams will be invited to attend the national finals in September where they will be asked to present their potential laboratory skills and "service" to an interview panel, Dragon's Den style!
