Exploring the world of dentistry
This blog is made up of two articles written by an independent YSA participant who has been exploring the world of dentistry, including a focus on the impact of CV-19.
A skills award for students aged 13-19 designed to support and inspire the next generation into STEMM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine. Participants work towards a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award by undertaking STEMM-based activities at school, at home or online. and logging them onto a personalised e-portfolio.
Why take part?
The Youth STEMM Award provides a framework to add impact and greater legacy to otherwise stand alone STEMM activities. Participants take part in more activities than they normally would and reflect on their skill development while building confidence and a record of achievement.
What students think:
“The YSA is likely the experience which changed my idea of what I wanted to do in the future & empowered me to think that I could pursue a career in STEMM. It’s an incredible programme & I recommend it so much!”
