Starting on Wednesday 12 March 2025 (weekly until Wednesday 2 April) at 1pm to 1.30pm

To celebrate 125 years of National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the 150th anniversary of The Metre Convention NPL are hosting their very own online STEM Club in collaboration with The STEM Hub.

The STEM Club will be live every Wednesday for 4 weeks and will last 30mins from 1pm to 1.30pm, starting on Wednesday 12th March at 1pm. For those who cannot make the live viewing, do not worry! We will post a recording on YouTube shortly after. The club is aimed at secondary school level, but anyone can watch! The dates of the sessions are:

• Wednesday 12th March
• Wednesday 19th March
• Wednesday 26th March
• Wednesday 2nd April

(Please note you can join each session separately in case you cannot get to every session).

We will cover something different each week such as:

• What is NPL - Introduction into the world of metrology and what exactly gets measured at the National Physical Laboratory
• Current scientific research - An insight to the current scientific research that is being done here in the UK.
• An experiment you can do at home! - Using everyday items you will take part in a club wide investigation.
• NPL STEM Club Challenge

The final session we will be announcing our NPL STEM Club Competition 2025 in which you will have 6 weeks to complete and send in your submission. The top submissions will win prizes and an opportunity to visit NPL. We hope you can join us.
