Want to make a difference and support a young person from disadvantaged backgrounds gain an insight into research?
in2scienceUK empowers students (year 12s) from low-income backgrounds to achieve their potential and progress to STEM research intensive degrees. We have over 2000 student sign up each year and we are looking for volunteers to get involved.
In response to COVID-19, this year our award-winning programme has moved to an exciting new online platform: the In2scienceUK Virtual Placement Programme.
The In2scienceUK Virtual Placement Programme will provide disadvantaged 16-18 year olds with the right support this summer. It will connect students with volunteer mentors who can explain their own journey into STEM and help guide them towards a path that is right for them. Through live webinars the programme will also enable participants to engage in cutting edge research, develop key skills and boost applications for further education.
Volunteer as a mentor with us this summer to make an impact that will last well beyond the effects of the current pandemic.
