Becoming a STEM Enthusiast

This collection of resources are the result of a project which recognised the need for additional student information, advice and guidance from students to students, staff to students and students to management about what it means to be a student in Higher Education from a widening participation background.

Increasingly, students look to video-based materials and social networking tools for guidance on future study and careers. With a focus upon maths, engineering and physical sciences disciplines, this project produced a series of video vignettes in which both students and staff talked about the rewards, challenges and day-to-day experiences of learning and teaching within their discipline.

The vignettes contained in this collection enhance the range of resources available to outreach practitioners and other university staff and students acting as ambassadors for their respective disciplines.
