Announcing our First Youth STEM Summit!

At Youth STEM 2030, we’re really excited to announce that - thanks to the generous support of the Royal Society of Chemistry - we will be holding our first ever Youth STEM Summit in 2020! This virtual event will bring together youth for a series of talks, panels and workshops, and we want YOU to be part of it.

Join our Design Team

We believe that young people can change the world. That’s why the Youth STEM Summit will be fully designed for young people, by young people. We’re looking for a diverse team of 8 young people (age 13-24), who each have different skills and strengths. Whether you’re good at planning and organising, can use social media like a pro, want a new opportunity to use your video editing skills, care about creating an inclusive and accessible event, or just want to share your ideas as part of a team, we’d love to receive your application! You don’t need any previous experience in designing events to apply - we’re looking for people who are committed to our mission, and are ready to try new things and get involved.

Applications are open from 12:00 midday BST on Thursday 30th July, and all applications must be submitted by the deadline on Friday 7th August, 17:00 BST (GMT+1).
