STEM Challenge 4: The Travel Challenge
Can you help to reduce the carbon footprint of spectators travelling to London 2012?
BP and STEMNET are Challenging students aged 11-14 to make sustainable travel plans for the journey from their school to 3 different Olympic and Paralympic venues. Launching in early September 2010, the fourth STEM Challenge focuses on the huge effect London 2012 will have on UK transport and efforts to make the Games the greenest in history!
Students will work in teams to complete tasks directly connected to the Maths and Science curriculum, for their chance to win a set of Science Museum Club boxes, a free Teacher CPD course and £1000 equipment for your STEM Club. There will be four weeks to complete the task before the deadline in November, and a celebrity guest judge will appear at the Challenge final in January 2011!

What are the STEM Challenges?
The STEM Challenges are ten activities that have been inspired by London 2012. Each one is a competition and will focus on a different aspect of the preparations or the event itself.
They provide a contextual and cross-curricular approach to studying the STEM subjects at 11-14 (KS3/S1-S3).
The STEM Challenges are being managed by STEMNET (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network) in association with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
