Our Charity

Building the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs

The world needs more, and more diverse, scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators to tackle humanity’s greatest challenges, from climate change to poverty and food scarcity.

Science Creates Outreach is a charity dedicated to educating and empowering young people to engage with science, technology and entrepreneurship, giving them the tools to shape the future.

Our charity relies on donations to continue and expand its impact.

About the charity

Our goals

We exist to help young people find their spark for science and entrepreneurship, showing them that it’s done by people just by them.

By putting young people in the heart of working science labs, surrounded by scientists of all ages, genders and backgrounds, we work to:

Demystify scientific careers
Diversify the faces of science
Empower confident problem solvers

Our solution

Our charity offers schools and home-ed groups:

Curriculum-linked STEM workshops at The Learning Lab
Behind-the-scenes tours of working science labs at Science Creates
Opportunities to have conversations with real scientists and engineers

‍

Our story

Outreach has always been an important part of the Science Creates story. In 2017, realising the importance of showing young people where real, groundbreaking science takes place, we began a series of one-off ‘school days’ that quickly led to a regular outreach programme — and then to the launch of an independent charity.

The demand and impact of this outreach was so evident that we designed The Learning Lab, a dedicated STEM learning space for outreach at our Old Market incubator.

Testimonials

“I firmly believe that single events can change lives and that Science Creates Outreach has the power to cause these. Among the young people visiting there will perhaps be hundreds over the years who will be inspired to become scientists. By visiting The Learning Lab and seeing scientists, students discover the special atmosphere and reward that practical science offers.”

Dr John Manley

"All of the scientists who deliver workshops are enthusiastic and inspiring, and they interact well with the learners. I’m looking forward to the upcoming workshops in our second collaboration with the charity."

Jo Sweetland

"I loved visiting and doing fun experiments with my class. When I grow up I want to be a scientist and rent one of the labs here one day so that I can start my own invention company, just like the ladies at Science Creates!"
