STATWARS Competition | Free-to-school Data Projects

The UK’s leading data competition in
Primary and Secondary schools.

STATWARS^® is a data project, with multiple curriculum links to science, mathematics, computing, engineering as well as English and geography, open to primary and secondary school pupils.

The competition enables young people to investigate and present data and to use it to inform decision making. Pupils follow simple or complex lines of enquiry from start to finish, conjecture relationships and generalisations in order to develop coherent, justified arguments that are based on thorough data analysis.

The nature of the projects encourages curiosity, criticality and resilience, as pupils are asked to consider indeterminate problems and develop data driven hypotheses.

STATWARS^® Climate Change Challenge, the edition we are running this year, empowers and educates young people to tackle climate change using data.

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

Our Projects

The STATWARS^® Climate Change Challenge vision is to empower and educate pupils to tackle climate change, by providing a project that delivers meaningful and engaging mathematics, numeracy and data literacy to pupils!
