Objectives

Generating Genius has been working for 14 years to ensure that talented and able students from BAME backgrounds are positioned well to excel in STEM careers. For us to accomplish this goal, we must ensure students can gain a place to study at top universities.

Generating Genius takes students through a journey through to Year 13, with ongoing development and support for our alumni. (Aged 16-25).

Through work experience, STEM master classes, university visits and corporate challenge days we have:

Successfully supported over 400+ to study STEM at University
56% of our students from African and Caribbean backgrounds achieved 3 A’s minimum (compared to 5% for Black students nationally)
100% of students carrying out work experience all studied degrees related to their work experience placements
60% of our BAME students went on to study engineering or related degrees at University (compared to 19% of BAME students nationally)
