About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 15 minutes

Are you a disabled or neurodivergent young person aged 14-25? Do you love science, engineering, technology or maths?

Lightyear Foundation are delighted to announce the launch of our new Lightyear Youth Group. This group will be a space for disabled and neurodivergent young people to share their stories, experiences, and ideas about STEM.

We've been talking to young people around the country about what this group should look like and how it should work, and we're excited to share what we've learnt at the Launch Event. We'll also hear from some brilliant disabled and neurodivergent speakers working in STEM, to give us an idea of the kind of exciting and inspiring conversations we'll be having in the Youth Group.

To finish, we'll give you a chance to sign up for the Youth Group!

We'll have a BSL interpreter and live captions at the event - please get in touch at info@lightyearfoundation.org to let us know if there is any other access support you need.

See you there!
