The following page will serve a landing page for our Lego Spike course and the Get Into STEM Course headed up by DSTL. The aim of the course is to be Competition Ready and to promote the thinking and examples of working of those employed within STEM careers. Challenges will develop skills in problem solving, engineering, design, and programming.
