FIRST UK is only as impactful as the smart creatives driving it. Our small but mighty HQ team is supported by a network of champion orgs, trustees and advisors on a mission to make STEM less intimidating, more diverse and inclusive.
“We need to empower young people today to take on the challenges of tomorrow – to prepare them for jobs which haven’t been invented yet.”
