#lgbtstemday #lgbtqstemday #queerstem #queerinscience | Mothers in Science Happy LGBTQ+ STEM Day 2025! 🏳️‍🌈 Today we recognize the contributions of LGBTQIA+ people in STEMM and reflect on the barriers that continue to shape their experiences in scientific and academic environments. LGBTQIA+ scientists have driven progress in every era of discovery, yet many have worked without the freedom to be fully themselves, navigating workplace cultures where showing up authentically carried professional risk. Today serves as a reminder that these biases still affect LGBTQIA+ scientists and their career trajectories. LGBTQ+ STEM Day was created by Pride in STEM...

Happy LGBTQ+ STEM Day! 🏳️‍🌈 Today, we're reminded that many LGBTQIA+ scientists still face bias and systemic barriers to career progression. Learn how you can help make change for LGBTQ+ caregivers in STEM https://tinyurl.com/mrku7ju3

This Flashback Friday shows evidence for how assuming brilliance functions as a decriminalizing mechanism in elementary STEM education for boys of color. The implications challenge educators to examine whose brilliance they assume.

Left to right, Jeff (the CEO), Jade (STEM Futures program manager), and Libbie (Assistant principle: accessibility and digital applications at The Oaks Specialist Collage). The bottom photo left to right shows Lisa (Assistant Head of Lime Academy, Ravensbourne), Kylee and Jeff again. At the centre of the collage is the STEM Futures logo, alongside partner and funder logos. The collage has a bright pink border, giving it a vibrant, welcoming feel.

Last week our CEO was thrilled to meet two of our amazing STEM Futures schools - #TheOaksSpecialistCollege and #LimeAcademyRavensbourne!
Together with students and staff we’re building a future where STEM is truly for everyone.

Left to right is Yoli (Personal assistant to the CEO), Jeff (The CEO), Hannah (Communities and Partnerships Programme Manager), Peter (Chair of the Board of governors), Michelle (Lead Administrator) and Emma (Senior STEM Outreach Programme Manager). Above them is the Lightyear Foundation logo with the tagline: “Breaking down barriers to disabled and neurodivergent children and young people taking part in STEM.” underneath. Surrounding the logo and tagline are circular photos showing young people engaging in various STEM activities, such as exploring science exhibits, using accessible tech, and participating in workshops. The background is purple with multicoloured circles, and the image is bordered in bright orange.

It’s Small Charity Week 💜
At Lightyear Foundation, we may be small - but we’re making a big difference.

We’re working to open up STEM for disabled & neurodivergent young people across the UK.

Small charities. Big impact.

A collage of photos from Lightyear Foundation’s Work Inspiration Trip to Renishaw. Images show students from Kingsweston School engaged in activities throughout the day—working in small groups, exploring laptops during a Tinkercad session, and observing technology. Group shots capture the students interacting, smiling, and taking part in hands-on STEM learning.

On 29th April, Lightyear Foundation took 11 students from Kingsweston School on a Work Inspiration Trip to Renishaw.

They explored advanced engineering tech, used Tinkercad to design 3D-printed keyrings, and learned about apprenticeships in STEM.

memorial plaque for the 14 victims of an antifeminist massacre at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique

OTD in 1989, we lost 14 prospective women engineers to an act of misogynistic terror at Montreal's École Polytechnique.
May their memory be a revolution.

Engineering can only serve society when engineers are both representative and respectful of diverse identities & perspectives.
