学校学生缺乏有关STEM职业的信息，这一学科在国家科学课程中没有得到充分的体现。因此，学生们觉得他们没有得到足够的建议来支持他们在GCSE水平和更高水平的科目选择。学生们很难想象在学校学习科学后可能的职业道路，特别是对于年轻的学生来说，很难以一种容易理解的方式传达典型的以科学为基础的职业图景。为了满足这一需求，我们开发了一种基于团队的互动活动，通过角色扮演来帮助学生设想以科学为基础的职业生涯中的典型工作流程——制药工业环境中的微生物质量控制。这项活动通过让孩子们亲身体验工业环境中典型的日常工作流程，满足了孩子们对以科学为基础的职业的好奇心。此外，该活动有助于传达抽象概念，如自然环境中微生物的丰度，微生物污染和卫生的重要性，这些都与科学课程有关。
School students lack information about STEM based careers, a subject that is not sufficiently embedded in the national science curriculum. As a result, students feel they receive insufficient advice to support their choice of subjects at GCSE level and beyond. Students struggle to envisage potential career pathways leading on from studying science at school, and especially for younger students it is difficult to convey typical science-based career pictures in a way that is easily accessible to them. To address this need, we developed an interactive team-based activity which uses role play to help students envisage typical work processes within a science-based career—microbial quality control in a pharmaceutical industrial environment. This activity addresses children’s curiosity about science-based careers, by enabling them to experience typical every day work processes in an industrial environment in a hands-on fashion. Additionally, the activity helps to convey abstract concepts, such as the abundance of microbes in the natural environment, microbial contamination and the importance of hygiene, which link to the science curriculum.
