About STATWARS®

At Primary Engineer we believe, young people need to be aware of the power of data in decision making, the role it will play in their future careers and fill the need of professionals being able to ‘speak data’.

We have therefore designed and launched the STATWARS® challenge to develop data skills in primary and secondary aged children. Our aim is to embed data into the heart of the educational journey, by linking creativity and enjoyment in developing a deep, sustainable understanding of the value and the use of data in all our lives. In turn, opening doors to careers that incorporate and require data skills.

STATWARS® is free to primary schools, secondary schools and home schooled children. The competition is fully funded by a number of funders across the UK. Visit our supporters to learn more.

STATWARS® a data project with multiple curriculum links to science, mathematics, computing, engineering as well as English and even geography.

The engagement with data specialists and industry professionals in the competition allows pupils multiple opportunities to learn from employers about work, employment and the skills that are valued in the workplace.
