Ward & Burke is proud to announce its sponsorship and participation in this year's STEMFest, taking place from June 24th to June 26th, 2025, at the Life Centre in Bradford. This exciting event, organised by the Yorkshire and Humber STEM Hub, delivered by RTC North, aims to inspire over 1,000 schoolchildren aged 10-13 years from the Yorkshire region to explore the fascinating world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) industries.
STEMFest 2025 will feature interactive STEM-themed zones, providing hands-on experiences led by industry experts. The event is designed to introduce young people to various roles within STEM through engaging activities, with the goal of inspiring the next generation of the STEM workforce.
As a leading company in the engineering and construction industry, Ward & Burke is committed to fostering innovation and supporting educational initiatives that encourage young minds to pursue careers in STEM. Our sponsorship of STEMFest underscores our dedication to community engagement and our belief in the importance of nurturing future talent.
"We are thrilled to be a part of STEMFest 2025," said Daniel Leicester, Project Manager. "This event provides a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with young students and showcase the exciting possibilities within the STEM fields. We look forward to inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists, and technologists."
Ward & Burke will have an exhibition stand at the event, where attendees can learn more about our projects, interact with our team, and participate in fun and educational activities. We invite all attendees to visit our stand and discover how we are making a difference in the world through our innovative engineering solutions.
Claire Willis, Team Leader at the STEM Hub comments “Events like this cannot happen without the financial support from organisations like Ward and Burke. It is important that the event is free to the end user and as a result, all young people have access. Through sponsorship we remove one of the barriers that may prevent certain schools in more deprived areas from attending.”
