MTa STEM Kit
Develop the competencies that will build our future
The MTa STEM Kit is a comprehensive resource designed to inspire young minds and develop essential STEM competencies. With 6 large bags of durable components, it offers 24 engaging activities that range from 10 minutes to 1 hour, suitable for ages 10 to 18 and 5 to 30 participants.
These activities cover a range of introductory to advanced concepts, from building stable structures to understanding core math skills like angles and geometry. Designed to foster teamwork, critical thinking, and real-world applications, the MTa STEM Kit prepares young people for careers in science and engineering helping them connect theoretical knowledge with practical skills.

Using the MTa STEM Kit to inspire young people to take up STEM careers. The activity is Wound Up.
RAF Youth Engagement
This RAF outreach programme uses the MTa method to inspire and encourage more young people to be interested in STEM, delivering events across the country.
Outcomes: Create interest in STEM learning and STEM careers in a fun and engaging way.
Nissan UK
Nissan UK work closely with local schools, at this session the aim was to ensure their STEM outreach programme is fun and engaging.
Activity: Wound Up (learning: velocity/forces/energy/motion)
Outcomes: Forge interest in STEM subjects & careers
British Army
The British Army use the MTa STEM KIT for motivational outreach, careers engagement and leadership training for cadets.
Activity: Participants on the train the trainer programme set themselves a challenge at coffee break to build the biggest catapult they could.
Outcomes: Lots of fun and the biggest MTa STEM catapult built to date.
Solving your problems
It's right for you
If you want to inspire young people and help them unleash their inner potential, with a strong focus developing human skills in a STEM context.
What's included
6 large bags of high quality MTa components, along with facilitator guides, participant briefs and reflection questions. Enough for up to 30 young people working simultaneously.
When to use it
These thought provoking STEM activities are ideal in the classroom, youth groups, corporate outreach, at a STEM club, on national STEM day and much more. Indoor or outdoor, anything goes.
As adaptable as you
Each activity is mapped to at least 4 STEM learning outcomes and the STEM Kit can be expanded or combined with other products in our range.
Effortlessly engaging
Our stimulating STEM activities are easy to plan using the facilitator content in the manuals and MTa online. They're intuitive to deliver, and designed to engage.
Real-world value
From year 2/3rd grade to young adult: all STEM learning is designed to be tied back to the workplace and to have lasting, real-world learning outcomes.

Inspiring the next generation
Science
Careers in science push the boundaries of human knowledge and experience, and lead to the incremental breakthroughs that continue to improve our lives. Use an MTa STEM Kit to develop skills like conceptual thinking, accurate measurement, drawing conclusions from results, and revising plans based on data that will inspire young people to pursue an interest in science.
Technology
In an ever-more technical world, young people with an ability to think and move fluently will have the advantage. MTa STEM activities instil skills like using newly acquired knowledge, a positive attitude to change, logical thinking, and others that will help young people move toward tech fluency.
Engineering
Engineers design and build the world around us, and understanding levers, pivots, centre of gravity and similar concepts is a mandatory part of their skillset. The MTa STEM Kit includes activities to foster these skills, whether creating stable structures that carry a load, using structures as sub-assemblies, and many more.
Mathematics
Our STEM activities teach core maths skills like understanding angles, tessellation, geometry, estimating, linking mathematics with physical objects, and more. By applying these skills in real-world settings, young people are able to make the connection between theory and practical application: a key distinction that doesn’t always come through in the classroom.
Critical thinking
By teaching young people how to challenge preconceptions and norms, to think analytically, and to take creative approaches to questions, our STEM equipment develops critical thinking faculties that will be invaluable in later life.
Teamwork
Team building equipment for kids should be fun and engaging while delivering lasting learning outcomes. The MTa STEM kit contains many easy team building activities for kids to instil the basics of team working, through to more complex concepts like inner-team working, agreeing on plans and more.
“We’re delighted! This [MTa STEM] activity was constructive, positive and fun.”

Every single session is positive using the MTa STEM Kit. It’s universally liked and with a clear brief anyone can be engaged with it.
This should be the first piece of STEM material you should buy. It’s versatile, it lasts and it’s cost effective. Combine it with a few laptops and a pneumatic rocket launcher and you’re all set to deliver STEM.

I use the MTa STEM Kit for two quite different purposes. I run weekly ‘constructioneering’ exercises with my year 7 – 9 maths club. The kids enjoy using the kit and find the activities challenging and memorable. I think pupils who aren’t necessary that interested in STEM yet would benefit from using these activities too, so I’m hoping to work it into the curriculum for next year.
I also use it in PHSE (Personal, Health and Social Education) lessons to focus on personal skills. I’ve found that it offers some really important learning opportunities: I’ve seen children develop their adaptability, resilience and problem-solving skills. It’s great to see them improve their team skills and increase their engagement levels as the activities progress.
I am often asked when we can get the STEM kit out again.
