Inspiring the doctors, paramedics and pilots of the future
Application to real-life scenarios can be one of the most exciting and effective ways to get young people thinking about STEM. London’s Air Ambulance Charity has produced materials covering all aspects of the charity's life-saving work, to help students go beyond the classroom in their studies.
The resources are suitable for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 students. If you are a teacher, download our Helimed Learning Resources and incorporate them into your lessons to encourage your students to investigate STEM careers.
