About this event
Are you a disabled or neurodivergent young person aged 14-25? Do you love science, engineering, technology or maths?
Lightyear Foundation are delighted to invite you to the first meeting of our new Lightyear Youth Group. This group is a space for disabled and neurodivergent young people to share their stories, experiences, and ideas about STEM.
Your voice will guide the work of the Lightyear Foundation, as we promote inclusion and access across the STEM sector.
At this meeting we'll start to get to know each other, and chat about what we each hope to get out of the Youth Group. We'll also try an inclusive STEM activity together, and hear from an exciting STEM speaker.
We'll have live captions at the event, and a BSL interpreter is available if you let us know in advance. Please get in touch at hannah@lightyearfoundation.org to let us know if there is any access support you need.
See you there!
Frequently asked questions
The Lightyear STEM Youth Group is a group of disabled and neurodivergent young people aged 14-25, who meet regularly to share their stories, experiences, and ideas about STEM with each other and with the Lightyear Foundation.
We are a disabled-led charity that is dedicated to removing barriers and creating inclusive, empowering opportunities in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) for disabled and neurodivergent children and young people.
Live captions will be on during the event, and a BSL interpreter is available if you let us know in advance. We'll send out pre-event questions to all attendees, so you can give us your thoughts in writing if you prefer. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to support you.
If you know or work with any disabled or neurodivergent young people aged 14-25, you're welcome to join the event and find out more about the group. We would encourage you to invite a young person to join you - the best way to see what we're about is to come along!
