“ STEM events are a great opportunity to encourage children’s interest in science and maths. We would particularly like to see more children from disadvantaged backgrounds coming along to these events so they can see the opportunities that are available to them. ”

Employee

“ We were so proud to have shown so many students what the opportunities are that studying STEM subjects could lead to. The buzz and excitement stemming from the engagement of the pupils in the Gatwick zone made for a truly special day. ”
