Students are often unaware of the opportunities open to them if they study STEM subjects at school.  These resources, comprising of a poster and four case studies, are designed to increase awareness of the just some of the potential careers open to them in international development.

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at the serious problem of coastal erosion. Much of the UK’s coastline is undergoing erosion, placing homes, businesses and other important coastal sites at risk. Mathematical modelling can enable us to understand both the short and long term processes that lead to erosion,...

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings.  

A Catalyst article describing how process chemists work in the pharmaceutical industry, devising methods of making new drugs.
