Catapulting Kids Further!

£3m has been allocated by emda to help fund equipment in schools to make vocational science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education more interesting.

The programme also aims to target Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) which have not traditionally engaged with schools in their area. In doing so, the goal is to enhance the experience of students studying STEM subjects and ensure education reflects local business needs.
