What STEM Potential did was show me more of what university was and what science could actually be. It sparked and cemented my love for Physics. Neha Yasin Participated in STEM Potential at age 14, and went on to study Physics at Imperial and work as a student ambassador on Outreach programmes.Read Neha's story

In school, you hand your files over to a teacher and they use the machinery – here, you get to do it all. The freedom to build your own project and learn new skills was amazing.

It allowed me to spend a week on campus, take part in practical experiments, and meet like-minded people who shared my love for science.

I enjoyed the programmes and I felt like it would be useful if I joined as a mentor for the younger kids. It’s kind of like giving back. … I remember it feeling like I had a big sister so that’s what I try to be for them.

I would not have conventionally gone to university, but the Pimlico Connection is one of the reasons I chose to go to Imperial to study Physics.
