Inspiring connection
Ensure programmes contribute to a sustained and rich STEM journey for all young people.
Why this pledge matters:
The more real-world STEM-related experiences a young person has, the more likely they will feel more comfortable with STEM and its application to the real-word and future career opportunities.
Ambition of the pledge
See all children and young people experience a rich variety of connected engineering experiences.
