About this programme

Students who have built something, broken it, and rebuilt it understand science differently from students who have only read about it. Our STEM programmes put students inside working laboratories, workshops and university departments, alongside people who do this for a living — so the subject stops being a syllabus and starts being a possible future.

Age group: Typically 12–18
Duration: Typically 7–10 days
Currently runs in: United Kingdom, France, Rwanda

What students do

University-hosted STEM workshops and laboratory sessions
Robotics, AI and virtual-reality practicals
Engineering and design challenges with a working brief

What students take home

Practical understanding of scientific and engineering method
Exposure to technologies not available in most school settings
Problem solving under constraints of time and materials
A realistic sense of what a STEM career involves
Motivation that carries back into classroom subjects
