In2scienceUK was founded in 2010 by Dr. Rebecca McKelvey, who aimed to provide
young people from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds an opportunity to
gain practical insight into the STEM sector as well as the knowledge and
confidence to progress to university. Each year In2scienceUK receives over 2,000
student applications and gives nearly 500 students the opportunity to take part
in life-changing STEM placement opportunities, working alongside researchers and
industry professionals to get hands-on STEM experience over the summer. To date,
75% of participants progress onto STEM degrees. This is something we are proud
of, as we are not a gifted and talented programme and aim to take students of
all levels studying STEM subjects.
