HELP FOR SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND IN THE COMMUNITY:

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths – subjects that are key to the development of next generation ideas in all areas of technology and engineering)

We have a number of STEM ambassadors who recognise the need to encourage young talent and so offer their support at local events and schools.

We support Brighton Science Festival and sponsor a prize at Big Bang South East every year, these are events that engage with young people making science FUN. We also support code clubs in local schools.

CODE CLUB: A global network of free coding clubs for 9 – 13 year olds. Click here https://codeclub.org to find information on local code clubs. If you don’t have a code club nearby, you can explore projects available on the site to try at home.

EDT: (Engineering Development Trust) Is a nationwide education charity providing opportunities for young people in STEM subjects. For more detailed information see https://www.etrust.org.uk/young-people
