The Youth STEM Summit will be a free to attend event (designed for 13-24 year olds), but spaces will be limited and tickets will be available soon.

The Design Team will meet regularly (virtually of course!), and you need to be able to commit ~4 hours per week, from mid-August to mid-October 2020.
Applications are assessed
After the advertised closing date, you will receive a confirmation email from us, telling you that your application has been received. In this email, we will advise you on when you should hear back from us, based on the number of applications we need to review - this allows us to ensure time can be given to fully reviewing each application.
Shortlisted applicants will take part in a remote interview, but don’t worry, we’ll give you notice of when this is happening and what to expect!
Applicants receive outcomes
All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application. Once we have received all the applications, we’ll let you know when you can expect to hear from us by.
In the application, you will be asked to provide some information about:
Yourself
The role you are interested in
Your education/training
The details of at least one person (up to 2 people) who can provide a reference.
You will also be asked to answer 3 questions, as follows:
About You: Tell us about your skills, knowledge and experience. We don’t just want to know what you’ve done. We want to know how you did it and how that shows to us that you can do this role. Answers should be a maximum of 1500 characters.
Why Us?: Tell us what has motivated you to apply for this role at Youth STEM Matters. Answers should be a maximum of 1000 characters.
Why You?: This is your chance to tell us what you can bring to the role - tell us about you as a person and how that will make you suited to the role you have applied for. Answers should be a maximum of 1000 characters.
NB: There are no minimum requirements for response lengths for these questions, but a well thought through application will likely score higher.
This section can all be completed in a range of formats. You can type straight into the application form, or, if you'd prefer, you can record your answers by video, create a poster or write a song/poem (or something else!) to answer the questions. If answering in an alternative format, please indicate so in the form and send your responses to [email protected] before the advertised deadline.
