Wigan S.T.E.A.M equips people with the creative resilience and digital capacities to navigate the workplaces of the future with confidence and competence, and to have the critical thinking skills to adapt, respond and innovate throughout their lives.
Underpinning this vision is the fact that STEM industries (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are the sectors that are growing within national and international contexts, yet access to such careers are not as open or as equal as they should be. In order to counteract this, we bring Arts into the equation, using creative practices as a way of breaking down barriers to STEM education and raising the aspirations of the people we work with.
