STEMFest 2025 welcomed over 800 year five and six students from primary schools across the Isle of Man.
Youngsters engaged in real-world applications of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.
The annual educational initiative transforms classroom learning into immersive, practical experiences designed by local businesses to ignite interest in STEM careers.

The event saw 25 local companies and organisations host interactive exhibits and hands-on activities.
From building bridges, recording their own TV shows, grading scallop shells, to understanding how fibre optic cables let them play their video games, there was something to engage each and every curious mind.
Steve Pickett, Chair of Business Isle of Man said: “STEM subjects can sometimes feel confined to textbooks and theories, but STEMFest brings these subjects to life, and that’s what makes it a standout event in the academic calendar.
“Every year, I am truly impressed by the calibre of activities and immensely grateful to the participating local businesses and organisations for giving their time and resources to create such an engaging array of activities for the students.”
