- Exploring STEM for Girls
-
The Exploring STEM for Girls event is an annual event aimed at local Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11 students in a bid to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers through a variety of interactive experiments, demonstrations and workshops.
The event is a chance for young women to have an immersive experience with STEM subjects and realise that these subjects are exciting, accessible and achievable.
In collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University, the event will also give you the opportunity to speak to current university students and staff about their studies, careers and the real life applications of STEM subjects which have helped to make a difference.
