We want to say a huge thank you to every young person who submitted an application - our team was hugely impressed by the standard of applications, and we’d encourage anyone who wasn’t selected this time to get involved in the journal in other ways (like submitting an article!) and apply again for future opportunities - some of our current team were initially rejected, but made a successful reapplication!

Lewis was Youth STEM 2030’s Communications & Admin Officer from December 2021 - June 2022. He’s a 19 year old based in Scotland who joined us through the UK Government’s Kickstart Scheme. During his time working with Youth STEM 2030, his motto was “while I may not personally be the person to put on a lab coat to do science experiments, or enjoy doing long equations for maths, in this role I can communicate STEM in a way that will inspire and empower others to use STEM to make a difference”.
