Across the UK, we work closely with expert partners to develop education programmes for schools and young people that directly support STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) in the national curriculum. We design our programmes to build skills and confidence, appealing to all pupils .
 
Our local education teams support schools and communities by:

  • engaging more than 150,000 young people in different projects every year;
  • ensuring that 20% of the schools we support are in lower socio-economic areas;
  • supporting our 2,400 STEM ambassadors; and
  • delivering work experience placements to young people – totalling over 1,000 in 2025.
