What people say about STEMFest
“Charlton Athletic Community Trust completely endorse this programme. I think it is something other community trusts should get involved in as there is a nice link there with STEM and football and I believe that’s something that our young people will completely buy into.”
Anthony Quarm– Premier League Inspires Programme Officer of Charlton Athletic Community Trust
“The attachment of football is very powerful, young people want to be involved in football. If you can use football as a catch to get them involved in engineering and STEM I think it blends very well and I would encourage all community trusts and foundations to get involved in this to support their local community and their young people that will be the future.”
Sean Daly – CEO of Millwall Community Trust
“Yes I would like to have a career in STEM, this is because I am currently trying to aim to become a marine biologist. Also I want to show more girls and encourage them to have more jobs in STEM because we need not only men in STEM but we need more women in STEM as well.”
