National Day Resources
#GEMinSTEM | 1st August
Let's start a movement, together!
We have introduced a National Day to celebrate and recognise the achievements and contributions of Global Ethnic Majorities in STEM.
Celebrate with us on 1st August, and use our resources to highlight your #GEMinSTEM champions!
Example social media posts:
People from Global Ethnic Majorities (GEM) are under-represented in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths). With technology increasingly touching most aspects of our lives, it’s of the utmost importance that there is diversity in engineering to ensure that it serves everyone in our society.
#GEMinSTEM day celebrates and recognise the achievements and contributions of Global Ethnic Majorities in STEM.

Careers in STEM are exciting, rewarding and highly paid yet not everybody has access to this information. REFLECT inspires young people from diverse ethnic backgrounds into STEM careers and lets them know they are invited to explore the world of Engineering and Technology.

Did you know that currently, 9.9% of the UK engineering workforce are from minoritised ethnic backgrounds - these statistics show a real opportunity to make an impactful change and address the UK engineering skills shortage that we are currently facing.
Today we are highlighting talented #GEMinSTEM and their incredible work because if you can see it, you can be it!
