The Code explores... designing inclusive programmes
A short, focused series aimed at:
- strengthening your approach to inclusion
- building confidence in inclusive outreach design
- supporting shared learning across the STEM outreach community
We'll bring together expert insight, practical guidance, and applied tools to help make sure programmes are accessible, equitable, and responsive to the diverse needs, backgrounds, and experiences of young people.
EngineeringUK will also share learnings from its own journey, highlighting key reflections, challenges, and progress in creating more inclusive opportunities for young audiences.
This series is aligned with The Code’s drive inclusion pledge.
COMING SOON: Live webinar
