STEM Sessions
A careers podcast for teachers and young people's influencers. STEM Sessions puts a spotlight on STEM careers in the UK. Every episode, we'll be talking to one of our London based STEM Ambassadors, who are real people that work in STEM and also volunteer in schools to inspire and inform young people. You'll get to find out more about their job, how they got there and how young people today can get there too!
