Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are the backbone of innovation. From the devices we use daily to breakthroughs that positively impact global challenges, STEM touches every aspect of our lives.

At Millennium Point, we’re passionate about fostering STEM education and ensuring it’s a priority for young minds. Here’s why we think STEM education is vital, and how it shapes the future.

1. Preparing for in-demand careers

The job market is evolving fast, with many growing roles requiring STEM skills. Technology, healthcare, and renewable energy are all booming, for example, creating countless opportunities for those with the right expertise. Equipping students with STEM knowledge now means they’ll be ready to fill the big roles of the future.

2. Problem-solving and critical thinking

STEM subjects go beyond theories and equations — they teach valuable life skills. Problem-solving, analytical thinking, and creativity are at the root of STEM education. Such skills help students tackle challenges not only in their studies but also in everyday life and future workplaces.

3. Innovation and progress

STEM is at the forefront of innovation. Advances in medicine, space exploration, and sustainable technologies are all thanks to STEM professionals. By investing in STEM education, we can inspire the next generation of pioneers who push the boundaries of what’s possible.

4. Diversity in STEM fields

Historically, STEM fields have lacked diversity, with women and underrepresented groups facing barriers to entry. STEM education provides an opportunity to level the playing field by encouraging inclusivity from an early age. Initiatives like those supported by Millennium Point aim to make STEM accessible to all, ensuring a richer, more diverse talent pool for the future.

5. Addressing global challenges

From climate change to public health crises, many of today’s biggest challenges require STEM solutions. Education in these areas empowers young people to contribute to meaningful work, whether that’s developing renewable energy sources or leading on medical research.

6. Love for learning

STEM subjects ignite curiosity. Hands-on activities, experiments, and real-world applications make learning engaging and exciting. By encouraging a love for discovery, STEM education keeps students motivated and encourages lifelong learning.

7. Supporting economic growth

A strong STEM workforce is crucial for economic development. Countries with thriving STEM industries enjoy greater innovation, competitiveness, and productivity. Investing in STEM education is not just about individual success — it’s about securing a better future for society as a whole.

Millennium Point’s role in STEM education

Millennium Point is dedicated to supporting STEM education through funding, partnerships, and public engagement. From hosting interactive STEM events to providing grants for schools and local projects, we’re committed to inspiring the next generation. Every booking at Millennium Point contributes to this mission, enabling us to champion STEM initiatives across Birmingham and beyond.

In light of our recent scholarship launch, we understand that finding the motivation to apply can be challenging. However, let these stories of these talented professionals serve as inspiration for you to embark into the world of STEM and push yourself to achieve new heights.

Annie Easley – The Human Computer

At the time, Easley was looking for a job after relocating when she discovered an article about two sisters who were “human computers” at the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory in Cleveland, Ohio. Two weeks later, after the reading the article, Easley began her career that spanned across 34 years, contributing to numerous programs as a computer scientist.

Easley’s career involved analysing problems and solving complexed mathematical calculations by hand, awarding her with the title of human computer. Easley would go on to break barriers for women and people of colour, inspiring them to pursue STEM opportunities.

Gitanjali Rao – American’s Top Youngest Scientist 2017

Inspired by the Flint Michigan water crisis, Rao invented a life-changing device that can detect lead in water at the age of 11. Rao’s dedication to her work earned her a place in the 2019 Forbes 30 under 30. In recent years, Rao has been taking part in the research of cell biology at the University of Colorado, using the latest genetic engineering to find a solution to prescription opioid addiction epidemic.

Rao is an active STEM ambassador, inspiring young people by promoting STEM-based activities in schools and the community. Rao continues to affect students globally by sharing her knowledge, tools, and encouragement.

Morris Mbetsa – Africa’s First Flying Taxi

Morris, a self-taught engineer, created an innovative solution to Africa’s traffic and poor road infrastructure issues. At the age of 28, Morris manufactured Africa’s first flying taxi. This drone transports passengers for around 25 minutes, and at speeds of up to 120km an hour. The young entrepreneur uses his talents to generate easy-to-use, inexpensive technological solutions that are accessible to his community.

At the young age of 6, Morris discovered his passion for technology, as he has stated on The Kenyan network K24, “Technology is my life. I never watched football while growing up. My room was full of electronics and wires.”

Ronjon Nag – Smartphone Pioneer

Shortly after becoming a newly graduate, Nag invented breakthrough technology for smart devices such as handwriting recognition, predictive text, application of speech recognition and touch screens for mobile devices. He later went on to become the founder of R42 institute, a US and UK-based company that invents and invests in AI and Biotech.

Nag has gone to work with big names such as Apple, BlackBerry, and Motorola after becoming a technological pioneer. As well as becoming a ground-breaking entrepreneur, Nag was also a professor in Genetics at the Stanford School of Medicine, committed to providing inclusive and accessible education.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell – Beyond the Stars

Whilst studying at the University of Glasgow, Burnell discovered pulsars, the cosmic sources of peculiar radio pulses. After graduating, she frequently worked in gamma ray, X-ray, infrared and millimetre wavelength astronomy. In 2015, Burnell was awarded a Royal Medal by the Royal Society and became the first female President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

After winning a breakthrough prize, Burnell donated all the proceedings to the institute of Physics to set up scholarships for graduates and those in under-represented communities to have access to study physics.

How was the Scholarship process?

The Scholarship application was very simple easy and quick. The judges were a delight to present in front of, they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and there is so much you can learn from them.

I enjoyed the training and all the help provided prior to the presentation, it was very valuable and enjoyable experience. I also loved the interaction I got from the judges.

Do you have any advice for future applicants?

I think applicants should cherish the experience, there is nothing to lose. However, so much to gain and learn throughout the process. The Scholarship pays for the entire degree, it is an opportunity that should not be missed.

So, how is University going?

Going to uni was the best decision I made, I enjoy uni life, the atmosphere, the experience, the interaction with other students, team building, my tutors, different societies. It’s just a whole new experience in itself, I am so pleased that I made this choice.

Sounds like you’re having a great time! Any plans on the future?

After I finish my degree, I would like to start work and put everything I have learnt into the practical world and start piecing the jigsaw together.

Lastly Asima goes on to say to future applicants ‘STEM career paths give us immense opportunities in the developing world, who knows where this Scholarship and degree will take me, and of course yourself’.
