Cross-curricular data-analysis project

The STATWARS competition is a free data project with links across the school curriculum, including to STEM subjects, English, geography and computing.

Open to both primary and secondary schools, the project has two strands – the Climate Change Challenge and Film and Television.

The competitions are fully funded and run annually. They have been developed by Primary Engineer, an organisation offering teacher training, curriculum support and resources.

Both competition strands aim to enable young people to investigate and present data and to use it to inform decision-making. Pupils follow simple or complex lines of enquiry, conjecture relationships and generalisations in order to develop coherent, justified arguments that are based on thorough data analysis.

The projects aim to encourage curiosity, criticality and resilience, as pupils are asked to consider indeterminate problems and develop data driven hypotheses.
