Learn about the Youth Equity + STEM (YESTEM) project and our new suite of tools and resources for practitioners from the research team. Hear from practitioners about their experiences of being involved in the partnership and their equitable practice.

Join a conversation about the future of UK informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning and how we can embed equity and social justice at the heart of UK Informal STEM Learning (ISL) policy and practice.

This event will be particularly useful for those interested in ISL and equity.
