Regional and National award events
This year we will be celebrating our winners on a regional basis, bringing educators, employers and STEM Ambassadors together by inviting winners from both awards to a regional celebration event in May.
These winners will then be invited to a National Celebration Event in June for the STEM Learning Teaching Awards and in November for the STEM Inspiration Awards.
