The Story

1. The Struggle

During secondary school, Jessica was in the frustrating position of being extremely interested in the sciences yet struggling to get good grades in them. She felt unsupported by her teachers, who told her that she was simply not gifted in these subjects.

2. Breaking the Glass Ceiling

After being predicted an E for GCSE Maths and U for the Sciences, she knew that she needed to do something to improve her academic prospects. She decided that if she wanted to do well, she would simply have to find a way of making these subjects accessible to her. And she did… at home, she created projects and approached problems from different angles to break down hard modules. As the topics increasingly began to make sense, she realised that she was not untalented but simply learnt in a different way to her peers. She achieved an A* in Maths, along with 5As and 5Bs.

3. The Ah Ha Moment

She began to realise how necessary it was to figure out individual styles of learning through innovative and creative styles of teaching and having someone patient enough to teach. “I realised that it wasn’t about being born with the ‘smart gene’ or being naturally good or bad
at a subject.”

4. Birthing

She set out to provide this experience to children, through BeScience STEM, the company which she designs and delivers entertaining STEM workshops for different audiences.

Who we’ve worked with

GET INVOLVED
STEM is having an amazing impact on families and young people, from diverse backgrounds. It is a huge pleasure supporting this and look forward to seeing it roll out nationally, supporting more families in other areas, as it has in Leicester.’
Amir Mahmood, De Montfort University Outreach Officer
Initially I volunteered accidentally; I didn't know what I was signing up for. Library LAB is very engaging, exciting and makes you want to step out of your comfort zone and begin to fully enjoy the experience. Since my ‘accidental’ start, I've been inspired to do more STEM community outreach through BeScience STEM and to learn more about STEM subjects myself.
Azka Naeem, Audiology2nd year student
Having Asperger's I struggled to interact socially with people, I started volunteering in the STEM Juniors programme and have made great friends on the team. I am also more confident in talking to people in social environments and it has given me the confidence to join a society at university…volunteering with BeScience STEM has been life changing
Mia3rd year student
I have 3 home-educated children, who attended the sessions. They enjoy the sessions and take interest in their findings and the topic they have learnt about. They look forward to the sessions each week.’
Farhana Hajat Mother of 3 children attending STEM Juniors
The event was very beneficial to our Brand and provided great insight and networking opportunities into STEM careers for the delegates. A great addition to the conference was the finely detailed management and hospitality provided by the host (BeScience). As a company we were also inspired by the diversity on the expert panel and the learning opportunity provided by Google’s Digital Garage. In summary the event was a pleasure to attend, and we aim to make a return next year
