"When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you.  You reach back and give other folks the same chances to succeed."

Summer research projects for Year 12 STEM students
Virtual
We will be delivering our 25th annual summer scheme for Year 12 STEM students. Working with corporates, research organisations and professional individuals we offer the opportunity to undertake a research project. The topic is defined by the provider and students are asked to research and present their findings. A project will be undertaken online over a 2/3 week period through July till mid-August.

Can you, or our organisation, offer a project of interest. We are looking for volunteer mentors to support one or more students. Time commitment is for an agreed number of online mentoring sessions, review of the project work completed either offline or in the form of a presentation, constructive feedback and where possible an opportunity for an on-site visit for project meetings or final presentations.
