Partner with us

We want to create a world where all young people have access to industry linked STEM education, enrichment and career opportunities. Help us get there faster.

Invest in the future

Not everyone can be a Premier League footballer, but we believe every young person has the potential to ‘go pro’ in STEM. Our partners do awesome things like:

  • Fund direct provision
  • Sponsor events and awards
  • Power our volunteering base

For less than £10 per impact hour you can make STEM more inclusive, drive your talent pipeline and reinvigorate your workforce.

“What makes FIRST even more valuable to Arm is that they’re working hard to increase engagement with student demographics that might have initially ruled out tech and robotics as being for them.”

Watch how

“I know that winning prizes is awesome but what I’ve seen happen today is so much bigger than that. These students have been collaborating and negotiating, thinking on their feet and strategising. It’s easy to see why competitions like this really do help students develop the skills they’re going to need for the rest of their lives. Honestly, I wish I had something like this when I was at school.”

Spencer Kelly, Broadcaster, BBC Click
