The Solent Primary Schools’ STEM Fair 2026 is more than just a fun day out for students—it’s your business’s chance to inspire the future workforce and ignite a passion for STEM from an early age.
This unique event offers local businesses the opportunity to engage with young minds, spark curiosity, and start building your recruitment pipeline long before CVs hit your inbox.
We’re inviting businesses to deliver a fun, 25–30 minute hands-on STEM activity that primary school students can take part in as they rotate in small groups throughout the day.
Think creative, simple, and exciting—whether it’s building a mini car to race, launching the furthest paper plane, or solving a STEM puzzle. All equipment and resources should be provided by you, and you’re welcome to add a competitive twist with prizes for the winners!
The goal? Show students that STEM isn’t just in textbooks—it’s in everything they love doing. If they can build a toy car today, they might one day design the real thing.
🌟 Inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, coders, and scientists
🧠 Open young eyes to exciting careers they’ve never considered and break down job role stereotypes
🔧 Bridge the future skills gap by making STEM real and relatable
📈 Strengthen your talent pipeline by engaging early
🤝 Boost your brand visibility in the community and with future families
❤️ Demonstrate your commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
This is your chance to make a difference, spark excitement, and shape futures—all while showcasing what makes your business and your industry great.
Join us, and help turn curiosity into careers.
