STEM Learning

Our vision is to improve lives through STEM education. We do this by delivering teacher CPD (Continuing Professional Development) in STEM subjects, bringing STEM role models through our STEM Ambassadors scheme, provide careers support and opportunities for young people through Destination STEM and deliver bespoke, long-term support for groups of schools in collaboration with companies.
Improving Teaching
Investment in CPD demonstrates long term, sustained investment in teachers of STEM subjects. Our science and computer science CPD is proven to show increase in retention of teachers, improves the quality of teaching and reduces attainment and progression gaps. We support the adoption of technology to enhance teaching across all subjects and champion inclusive computing curricula so all students receive a world-leading computing education.
Enrich Learning
Destination STEM provides support, advice, and opportunities to help young people explore pathways into STEM careers, develop their STEM skills, and connect with STEM employers. These programmes show more diverse young people choose progress in STEM, improve STEM skills and reduce aspiration and opportunity gaps.
STEM Ambassadors and Computing Ambassadors
This award winning volunteering programme links thousands of STEM professionals with young people to broaden horizons and raise aspirations for STEM and into STEM pathways. We also have specific Computing Ambassadors supported by the National Centre for Computing Education.
Social value
Elements of our work have been assessed to give a social value measure, allowing organisations who work with us and invest in our approach access to strong evidence of the social impact.
