STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. STEM已成为BUCHS越来越关注的焦点，即将到来的学年的活动日程表正在迅速填满，因为学生有机会参加许多内部和外部的STEM活动.

Key Stage 3:

七年级和八年级通过beat365手机APP每两周举办一次的KS3 STEM俱乐部定期支持他们的STEM学习. 所有七年级的学生也将参与英国科学协会CREST奖，作为beat365手机APP推广日的一部分.  学生们将参与计划和开展科学调查，并获得Discovery CREST奖. Further information about CREST can be found here http://www.crestawards.org/

All students in Year 8 have a fortnightly ‘Practical Science’ lesson in which their knowledge of Science as a STEM subject will be used as the foundation for short practical investigations; building on the investigative skills developed through their curriculum lessons.

此外，被选中的学生有机会参加UKMT青少年数学挑战赛. It encourages mathematical reasoning, 思维精确，能熟练运用基本数学技巧解决有趣的问题. You can find more information and practice papers at http://www.ukmt.org.uk/jmc

BUCHS will be the host school for the Faraday Challenge Day, 由六名八年级学生代表学校与本地中学竞争. The students will work to design a project set, manage a budget and present their ideas to a panel of judges. Previously, our school won in the 2018-2019 school year.

Key Stage 4:

Students from Years 9-11 who show a flair for Science, and/or an interest in Engineering and Maths, 也得到了beat365手机APP两周一次的KS4 STEM俱乐部的支持. Previously, 学生们有幸参加了福特的IT活动，与当地其他学校的学生一起练习他们的编程和工程技能. beat365手机APP也鼓励精选的九年级学生参加外部课外活动，如皇家学院大师班在ProCat, Essex.

Year 10 students will have the opportunity to participate in the Biology Challenge and the Physics Challenge; both are national competitions for KS4 students which encourage them to take an interest in science current affairs as well as utilising their learning at GCSE level to approach a series of questions. 关于生物挑战和其他皇家生物学会活动的信息可以在这里找到 http://www.rsb.org.uk/ 关于物理挑战赛和其他英国物理奥林匹克竞赛的信息可以在这里找到: http://www.bpho.org.uk/bpho/y10-challenge.

In Mathematics, 被选中的学生将有机会参加UKMT中级数学挑战赛. It encourages mathematical reasoning, 思维精确，能熟练运用数学技巧解决有趣的问题. You can find more information and practice papers at http://www.ukmt.org.uk/imc.

Key Stage 5:

STEM职业建议将在全年提供，并引入午餐beat365手机APP，学生可以在那里遇到各种行业成员和已经离开教育，在STEM领域追求职业生涯的学生. 这些beat365手机APP将让学生深入了解STEM大学beat365手机APP，并更广泛地了解他们可以获得的职业机会.  Students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare have the opportunity to attend MedSoc; led by an ex-medic, 这些beat365手机APP向学生介绍各种医疗轮岗, skills and ethical case studies, as well as supporting students with interview preparation.

所有数学专业的学生都有机会参加UKMT高级数学挑战赛. It encourages mathematical reasoning, 思维精确，能熟练运用数学技巧解决有趣的问题. 这对学生来说是一个很好的机会，可以参加课外活动，提高他们的UCAS申请. You can find more information and practice papers at http://www.ukmt.org.uk/smc. beat365手机APP还选择了一些学生参加女子奥林匹克数学竞赛: http://www.ukmt.org.uk/mog

12年级和13年级生物专业的学生将有机会参加英国奥林匹克竞赛, as well as the newly introduced Intermediate Olympiads. 这些全国性的竞赛测试了学生对A级科学的更广泛的理解和应用.  They will challenge even the most able students. Previous years have seen students obtain Bronze, 银奖及金奖，表扬他们在比赛中的参与及表现. 表现最好的学生有机会参加国际比赛，与全球各地的学生竞争. http://ukbiologycompetitions.org/british-biology-olympiad/ http://edu.rsc.org/enrichment/uk-chemistry-olympiad and http://www.bpho.org.uk/

13年级物理学生将有机会参加英国物理奥林匹克竞赛，并有可能参加BPhO比赛. 这项久负盛名的比赛邀请全国各地最有能力的学生寻求国家对他们物理才华的认可: http://www.bpho.org.uk/bpho/round-1.

beat365手机APP还为每个科学学科的12年级学生提供在一个项目上合作的机会，为自己赢得银冠奖. 学生选择一个他们感兴趣的项目，该项目建立在他们的学习基础上，但通过对“现实世界”问题的调查来发展, 提高他们的规划技能以及实践设计和研究的方法. Last year, 两名13年级的学生在学习A - Levelsbeat365手机APP的同时成功获得了金冠奖.
