The aim of ‘Summer of STEM’ is to create networks for talented, young people with ambitions of working in

science or engineering.

The project looks to develop relationships between candidates and

industry leaders, which may lead to opportunities or educated career

guidance.

The project is open to 16-30 year olds to:

- Create a digital ‘Postcard of Ambition’ - Develop a 21-day online campaign

which showcases their best skills and talents for that ambition.

Jobsite and State of Ambition will facilitate the campaigns and ensure they

are seen by industry leaders.

The first mentor we have on board is leading structural engineer Roma Agrawal.
