Rewise has collaborated with the Reaching Wider Partnership to support them on their core mission of creating pathways to higher education for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. To achieve this goal, Rewise created a new STEM engagement programme that’s practical, hands-on, and fun, to highlight that STEM learning can be for everyone, and every type of learner. Our STEM engagement sessions promote learning through doing, not watching, in a fun and interactive environment. Our technique of setting small, achievable goals boosts confidence and ignites a desire to continue learning and gaining new skills. We’ve helped over 3000 young people from 15 schools explore a range of higher education pathways and supported them in gaining the skills, knowledge, desire, and determination to study at the university level.

Value Created
We understand university and academia aren’t for everyone, but we want to make sure that everyone that wants to access it, is able to. Very often young people are bogged down by entrenched ideas that they aren’t smart enough to go to university or that they don’t have the right qualifications, our goal is to combat those mindsets through exciting educational opportunities and honest conversations exploring the upsides and down of university study. We are committed to ensuring that with hard work and focus, every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential and play an important role in society.
