About Steam Train
What we do
Research shows that many children are missing the fundamental knowledge and skill to support them becoming confident and motivated towards learning science and maths. We also know that many teachers are being asked to teach STEM based subjects they themselves have no confidence in.
We believe that you learn best by having multiple views on a subject – we do not just teach the facts and the skills – we teach about the history, the discoveries, the drama, the intrigue, and how they all connect and impact on your daily life.
This storytelling gives you more “hooks” or connections into the subject matter – before you know it you are confidently engaging with material you may have previously thought difficult, with ease and interest.
