- The YESTEM project
Informal STEM learning has considerable potential for engaging young people with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the experiences are not always as equitable as they could be.
The tools and resources on this website were developed in the Youth Equity and STEM project (2017-2022), an international research-practice partnership focused on understanding and supporting equitable practice in informal STEM learning.
The materials are based on extensive mixed-method research with young people aged 11-14 and informal STEM learning practitioners, and were co-developed by a team of academic researchers and informal STEM learning organisations in the UK and the US.

Background of the YESTEM project
This document summarizes the discussions, data and findings relating to equity and access work in informal science contexts.
This document summarizes discussions, data and findings on pathways in and across informal science contexts, relating to youth and equity.
We present key questions and themes for future equity and access work in this agenda, as identified through project research and activities.
Facts and Figures: Key figures and findings from the survey and workshops conducted as part of Phase 1 project funding.
