Schools
Science Oxford runs a rich programme of STEM activities at the Science Oxford Centre and in primary schools across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, as well as a STEM Careers Programme for secondary school students to inspire young people in science, technology, engineering and maths.
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.
