How sponsoring a place works....
Your business buys one (or several) places on one of the courses (£258 per place). We give you a free place voucher which you can then donate to a local school or organisation, allowing a child to attend for free.

Navtech Radar sponsored 6 place on our course in 2022. The places were given to 'pupil premium' (economically disadvantaged) pupils.
One mother wrote...
'Getting accepted for this course will make a difference in Kamdi’s life. She is a great candidate for this course because she can grasp information easily and apply it where needed. She engages in things she is interested in like science and is inquisitive about what’s happening. Kamdi is intrigued to learn more than beyond what’s taught. She will enjoy doing this course as it will benefit her in the future'.
STEM Summer Courses
What are STEM Summer Courses?
Designed for 8-13 year olds who have an interest in STEM, our summer courses are a week long course where children explore and complete fun STEM projects. Our aim is to link what they do on the course with real life engineering so, for one afternoon they will go off-site to an engineering business for a tour and to meet an engineer!

Saturday STEM Club
What are Saturday STEM Clubs?
Designed for 8-13 year olds who have an interest in STEM, our Saturday club courses run for 11 weeks during term time. Kids explore and complete fun STEM projects, our aim to link what they do during the sessions with real life STEM subjects.
We believe that learning is best achieved through doing, so each week kids complete activities that challenge their problem-solving skills, inspire their creativity, and deepen their understanding of the world around them. They will collaborate with other kids, gain knowledge and develop skills that will serve them well in the short term and beyond.
