STEM is one of our most potent vehicles for promoting greater equality, enhancing social mobility and encouraging true individuality as future thinkers and creators.

SmartSTEMs exist to inspire the next generation about Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) through cost effective collaboration between industry and education.

At SmartSTEMs we want to inspire, engage and challenge young people to think differently about STEM. We want young people to be inspired to study STEM and go on to pursue careers in STEM.

Our core aim is equity of access and opportunity for all young people; where new and strong connections between education and industry lead to expanded skills, career options and networks. 

Through large scale Hub events involving up to 500 young people, outreach work, specific programmes (Digital Dairy Chain Project) and online events targeted at those aged 10-14, we aim to provide hands on experience involving workshops, experiments, and expert advice from fantastic SmartSTEMs staff, STEM volunteers and business partners.

Our model is scalable and replicable, and we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with academia and business to support the growth in STEM opportunities for young people through the delivery of bespoke activities.

Vision

We have a vision that every child in the world, regardless of age, gender, background, ethnicity, religion, location, will have equal and fair access to STEM education and career opportunities.

Mission

Our mission is to provide equal access to inspire and realise the full potential of future generations, through facilitating cost-effective collaboration with industry and education.

Great things happen when great people get involved

If you, your team and your company want an easy way to change the world, we would love to chat about how we can help you do that. There are a variety of support opportunities that benefit you, us and, most importantly, the young people we work with. Let’s have a chat.
