Schools
Science Oxford runs two key programmes for primary schools and a STEM Careers Programme for secondary school students to inspire young people in science, technology, engineering and maths across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Follow the links below to find out more.
To extend our impact, in May 2024 The Oxford Trust launched the Accessing Science Fund to give children and young people in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire who experience barriers to STEM engagement the opportunity to access science learning through Science Oxford’s programmes. Find out more here.
