Our Vision

There are a number of programmes designed to support and encourage girls into STEM, but there are fewer supporting BAME students … data presented earlier clearly shows that BAME students are less likely to be employed by engineering companies than their white counterparts. Therefore, more work could be done to support transition of BAME students from university into the engineering sector.

I think it’s important that I understand “others’” experiences of pursuing careers in STEM – I am convinced that the ease of relating to “people like one’s self” is part of what perpetuates a lack of diversity so keen to break that cycle

I would definitely like to be involved as I am currently a STEM ambassador with STEMNET. This initiative is very close to home in the sense that I never really had that mentorship, nor do I have it now.

It was lovely meeting you yesterday and you’ve really inspired me and given me a lot of hope in becoming successful in the industry I would love to get into.

BBSTEM sounds like a great initiative. As someone who was the only black person my biochemistry course, I know how important such initiatives are!

This is a great initiative created here. It is for the very reason I am a STEM ambassador, as this is something I feel young black individuals have little support towards.
