A new scheme to engage disadvantaged youth with science and technology has been launched by international pop star will.i.am, in collaboration with The Prince’s Trust, at the Science Museum in London.
Funded by a £500,000 donation from the Grammy-winning artist, the scheme will deliver workshops aimed to inspire 13-19 year olds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It will be delivered by Science Museum outreach staff at the trust’s xl clubs, which help young people struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.
Will.i.am said: “Inspiring young people through science and technology is a powerful tool and I am proud to see my donation to the Prince’s Trust being put into action to help engage disadvantaged youth who would not otherwise have access to technology and science education.”
Science Museum outreach and resources manager Toby Parkin said it was important to make science exciting and accessible, and the initiative would target youngsters who may not have considered science or technology as a career path.
