SmartSTEMs is a charitable organisation based in Glasgow that exists to inspire the next generation about Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) through cost effective collaboration between schools, tertiary education and industry. We have a primary focus on widening access of STEM education to disadvantaged and underrepresented groups and it is our goal to ensure all young people have the opportunity to engage with inspiring role models and to gain hands-on experience in STEM.
By collaborating with STEM organisations, SmartSTEMs create opportunities to spotlight the dynamic and imaginative side of STEM. We achieve this by providing hands-on experiences that reflect the work of real-world role models. Our events, which range from large-scale Hub events accommodating up to 500 young people to more intimate classroom sessions, go beyond your standard leaflets and pop-ups. Our overarching goal is to leave a lasting impression on young minds; resulting in a shifted perspective on STEM and greater optimism for the future of the STEM industry.
Our mission would not be achievable if it were not for our fantastic volunteers. Our motto is “Collaboration Is Key”, and we are constantly seeking like-minded individuals who are eager to help us promote our message and inspire the next generation of STEM enthusiasts. Would you like to get involved? Contact us for more information!
