SDG 4

Inspire the Next Generation

While the importance of STEM education is globally recognised, it is currently not embedded in formal curriculums in many of the schools in communities where we work due to ‘Rote Learning’. Access to education and opportunities in STEM, opens the door to a wider range of ideas, perspectives, and solutions.

In our STEM Impact Area, we emphasise developing soft skills to build confidence, foster aspiration, and encourage the joy of learning. You’ll help break down barriers and stereotypes, demonstrating how participation in STEM can drive innovation. Your efforts will contribute to building a more dynamic, inclusive future.

Be part of something bigger in sharing your passion for STEM with learners to inspire the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and leaders. Together, we can make a lasting impact and shape a brighter, more sustainable world.
