The Education Academy Scotland Teams Up with My Science Club to Launch the STEM Saturdays Scholarship
In an exciting new partnership, The Education Academy Scotland (TEAS) has joined forces with My Science Club to offer the new ground-breaking STEM Saturdays Scholarship. This fully funded opportunity is designed to inspire and support young people who are passionate about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Not only will this programme raise the current attainment for scholars in their day-to-day learning in school, it will help them build a wide range of STEM skills via practical activities to further engage them in STEM. Furthermore, the recruitment of STEM Ambassadors who work for local and international STEM employers will add real world context to each session across the six-week scholarship programme.
The STEM Saturdays Scholarship offers students access to a series of Saturday workshops and mentorship programs aimed at boosting their STEM skills. This initiative is not only pioneering in its approach, but it is also a key step toward addressing the need for more diverse talent in STEM fields. By providing hands-on learning experiences outside the traditional school environment, the scholarship helps raise attainment in STEM subjects, ensuring that students gain the knowledge and confidence to succeed.
“We believe this scholarship will open doors to students who might not otherwise have had access to such opportunities,” said Graeme Rough, Head of Centre at The Education Academy Scotland. “It’s about creating pathways for the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.”
The partnership’s goal is to encourage young people to consider a future in STEM, offering them a chance to build skills that are vital to their academic and professional growth. With this initiative, both organisations hope to inspire a future where more students are equipped to pursue rewarding careers in the ever-evolving world of STEM.
