About the project
The Cheshire & Warrington STEM Development Office is the voice of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in the region. Through its STEM support organisations, educators and business, the STEM Development Office provides the stimulation, skills and support for STEM professionals of the future.
- Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are subjects that the government has identified as being absolutely critical to the UK's future prosperity and global competitiveness.
- We need to boost interest in these areas, harness people's skills and create a strong supply of highly skilled employees in important, innovative industries.
- It is crucial that we get more young people fired up by STEM, making sure increasing numbers go on to further and higher education.
In order to support this agenda, the government has set out a vision for more coherent, effective STEM education, reaching out to all learners and offering better support to educators at a national and regional level.
In the North West that challenge is being grasped by the North West STEM organisation of which Cheshire & Warrington are one of five sub-regions providing a powerful voice for STEM in our region.
We have put together a page of useful STEM Links which includes organisations trying to support and boost interest in STEM subjects.
