Schools can apply for grants of up to £3,000 to run investigative STEM projects in partnership with STEM professionals from academia or industry. The programme provides an opportunity for students to have a voice in the direction of scientific research around climate change and biodiversity by working with their STEM partner. It also supports students to develop green skills as the UK moves towards a net zero future.
Free online training sessions are run for teachers, aimed to give attendees a better understanding of the grants scheme and application process.
The application round opened in February 2024 and will remain open across the year with three possible submission deadlines at the end of April, June, and November 2024.
