This partnership signifies a commitment by 3M to advance STEM education and opportunities for young women in the UK and Ireland throughout 2024 and beyond.
In a statement, Rachel Owen, brand and corporate communications head at 3M, said: “We are proud to partner with g4g, as 3M has a rich tradition of inspiring students through STEM activities. This takes place at our major sites and through the encouragement of employee volunteering, especially through our STEM ambassador network. This partnership is more than just an investment in STEM; it's an investment in the future of innovation and a diverse future workforce.”
Known for its dynamic approach to engaging young minds, g4g will work closely with 3M to host events, workshops, and programmes designed to spark interest in STEM subjects.
The organisation's founder, Melissa Rancourt, said: “Together with 3M, we aim to light a path for girls in the UK and Ireland to discover the endless possibilities within STEM fields. Our message is clear: every girl has the potential to achieve greatness in science and technology, and we're here to support that journey every step of the way.”
The partnership starts with a series of interactive STEM days, where students aged between 11-15 will have the opportunity to connect with mentors, engage in hands-on activities and explore the diverse range of STEM careers.
3M’s STEM ambassadors will work with the girls to dispel stereotypes associated with scientists and engineers. They will demonstrate that many interesting and rewarding careers are open to people with STEM qualifications, with the goal of motivating students to choose science, technology, engineering and maths when the time comes to consider qualifications and careers.
