Could you be the next health hero? Or a sustainability star? Maybe you’ll be a future explorer, discovering the latest technology.
Students can meet real life scientists and engineers as they talk about their careers, how they help change people’s lives and more. Ask questions, find out more and discover future careers.
Guess Who?
Get to know the person behind the job! Meet inspirational people working in STEM and guess who matches with each statement. Example statements are:
- Who wanted to be a pilot when growing up? Who didn’t do well in maths or science at school?
- Who represented their country in sports? Who is great at recognising patterns?
Challenge stereotypes about what skills are important in jobs in STEM, who does particular jobs, routes into careers and what jobs in STEM involve. In STEM, jobs are accessible to all! There is a job for whoever you are and they are for everyone.
Students can find Guess who? on the main stage twice a session each day.

Discover Your Skills
Students can discover their STEM skills in our interactive careers activities area! Meet STEM students and professionals, and take part in 3 activities, designed around the key skills of creativity, teamwork, speaking, listening and problem solving.
- Hot topic debates: will students agree or disagree with the solutions proposed on hot topics, such as technology and climate change? Can their mind be changed after listening to other people’s opinions?
- Odd one out: can students see and explain a reason why each of the 4 images would be the odd one out? They will have to use their creative thinking skills in this challenge
- Tinkering space: will students see their failure as learning, just as engineers do? There will be 3 design challenges for students to choose from. Each one encourages them to make, tweak, test and create their own outcome. The space celebrates famous failures and surprising outcomes from when things haven’t gone as expected
By taking part students will gain skills stickers and build confidence in speaking to STEM professionals.
