Value proposition

Inspiring the next generation into STEM, facilitating connections between schools, community groups, industry & academia

SmartSTEMs is the glue between Tertiary Education, Industry and Schools. We exist to provide equity of opportunity to young people into STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) with particular focus on the gender gap.

Our model is SCALABLE and REPLICABLE and DELIVERED through our intertwined initiatives of HUB events and OUTREACH

HUB Events are held in tertiary education establishments, by territory, where we convene industry and schools to apply the SmartSTEMs glue and get the good people of Scotland connected and collaborating to best effect.

OUTREACH is delivered in Schools & Clubs affording ongoing equitable access to STEM activities locally


SmartSTEMs started as a CSR initiative within Seric Systems and it is now set up as a registered charity SmartSTEMs (SC046487) incorporated in April 2017.
