AnnouncementsYouth STEM Summit
Written By Mhairi McCann

At Youth STEM 2030, we’re really excited to announce that - in collaboration with The Institution of Engineering and Technology - the Youth STEM Summit is back!

This year’s Summit will bring together youth globally in September 2021 to be inspired, gain skills and take action to tackle the world’s biggest challenges, and we want YOU to be part of it!

 

Join the 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 19:00 BST (GMT+1) on Thursday 1st July, and all applications must be submitted by the deadline on Sunday 11th July 2021, 17:00 BST (GMT+1).

 

Attend the Summit

The Youth STEM Summit will be a free to attend event, but spaces will be limited and tickets will be available soon.
Want to be the first to know when tickets are released? Register your interest, and we’ll keep you up to date!
