A collage featuring two photos from recent STEM Futures school visits.
The top photo is taken in a brightly lit room with large windows. Three people are smiling at the camera. 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.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nd3f2t3xidrjnvguvizqipz6/bafkreie74u5optogvmkz2qedmgoczzi44zpyli6estbzr7gcfnibnwrtna@jpeg)
