In 2023/24 the British Science Association were tasked by UKRI to 'convene' the sector around the topic of 'engaging underrepresented young people in STEM'. Over the course of the year we ran focus groups, discussion sessions and round tables on the topic, including listening to the lived experiences of young people and teachers.
This session will look at the recommendations from the last round table, and will include a panel discussion, with contributors from the STEM engagement community as well as academia and schools.
