Birmingham Schools Science Network (Bssn)

science motivates and inspires! – it brings out the best in our common curiosity, inquisitiveness, and drive for progress. the bssn is a pilot project aimed at creating a robust platform for pre-university students to gain exposure and opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (stem) in the birmingham area. this is novel project which seeks to address current gaps in opportunities and would seek to become a key platform for science communication, engagement, and networking for young people. this project would hope to widen access and participation in stem for many underprivileged young people, while empowering the next generation of future leaders. this is an entirely non-profit project run by school students with the support of mentors and collaborators.
