Join the conversation in our closed social network for young women and nonbinary folks.
Our Tap & Tinker events last 3 or 6 hours and aim to inspire, teach and problem-solve around a STEAM topic of your choosing (or let us choose for you!). Tap & Tinkers are open to all girls, young women and young non-binary people, from years 3-12.
During these sessions, we teach various tech skills including creating basic apps, chatbots, 3D prototypes, websites and more!
A stable careers programme. By offering free events focused on specific STEAM topics, Tap & Tinker sessions can be part of a wider careers programme that a school might offer. They provide students with opportunities to explore STEAM topics and develop key skills.
Learning from career and labour market information. Through Tap & Tinker sessions, students will have the opportunity to engage with STEAM topics. They will learn more about potential career paths in STEAM fields.
Addressing the needs of each pupil. By catering to different years and skill levels, our sessions allow everyone to engage with STEAM topics.
Encounters with employers and employees. Sponsored Tap &Tinker sessions allow students to meet and learn from industry professionals.
Encounters with further and higher education. Tap & Tinker sessions are a valuable starting point for students considering further study in STEAM fields.
