UHI STEM Outreach Programme

STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is a well-established area and focus for education.

UHI recognises its importance and strives to embed this interdisciplinary approach in our curriculum to inspire innovation through creativity via the arts, (where STEM becomes STEAM). Our UHI strategy identifies that our science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics approach to a multi-disciplinary curriculum, produces the most professional and flexible graduates.

The UHI STEM Outreach Programme has evolved over a number of years to address the skills gaps in science, technology, engineering and mathematics . We have been generously supported by industry partners to inspire the next generation of Engineers, Scientists, Technologists, and Renewable energy experts and are able to offer a broad range of STEM engagement activities designed to support early years and primary school learners across the north of Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands, Moray, Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, and Argyll and Bute.
