STEM Connect has been inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and is designed to facilitate incorporating these goals into the science, technology, engineering and maths teaching in your school.

The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals can be a good framework to engage students and enrich subject learning with global issues.  STEM Connect can assist with this aim through its cross-curricular teaching and projects.

You can check which topic aligns to which UN Goals for Sustainable Development, by opening the STEM Connect Contents guide. This is available through the Planning Documents tab.
