Earlier this month, students attended one of our STEM Camps, funded by the Vertex Foundation! ☀️

The camp was full of chemistry, physics, and computing activities. It also included a trip to Vertex's Oxford Learning Lab, where students learnt about the 'science of sleep' and the production of medicines! ⚗️

STEM camps help young people re-engage with subjects, increase confidence, and push towards higher grades.

Yesterday, we marked 20 Years of STEM Learning! 🎉

Staff celebrated by taking part in workshops, welcoming our new Chair, Lord Jim Knight, and of course, eating lots of cake during a staff picnic 🎂

We want to mark 20 years by thanking our funders, volunteers, partners, educators, and staff for their support, dedication, drive and commitment to inspire the next generation in STEM. We couldn’t have got here without you!

Since 2004, we have supported millions of young people and had a major impact on STEM education, with a proven impact on teacher retention, student aspirations and teacher workload. This has resulted in a huge social value impact across two decades.

We're asking organisations, individuals, and educators to celebrate this milestone with us by taking part in our campaign by:

⭐ Donating – Give £2k, £20k, £200k, £2m to support improvements in STEM education and enrichment.

⭐ Volunteering – just 20 minutes of your time to bring STEM alive to inspire young people.

⭐ Engaging – just 2 hours or 2 days to attend one of our teacher CPD courses to improve knowledge and skills in teaching STEM to young people.
