These "hands on" activities are designed to focus on young people from under-represented communities with the aim of raising their awareness of the opportunities available to them through careers in STEM. The day(s) help to raise the aspirations and develop the abilities of youngsters through an applied learning experience based on problem solving, creativity and innovation. The EDT will continue to promote and provide these opportunities to everyone who can benefit from them." - Mark Williams, EDT Education Director.
