We engage young people aged 5 to 18 years in activities designed to encourage their curiosity and build Science Capital.
We also introduce them to people with a STEM background – working with companies, universities and other partner organisations who can provide valuable role models to show the diverse pathways to a STEM career and show that anyone can access these.
