We’ve added a new section to your profile, across the I’m a… projects: “How I use…”

This short section is your chance to show students how your work connects to the project, and how different areas of STEM overlap in real jobs.

You will get this question for each of the projects you are taking part in. For example, if you picked engineering and maths themes when you signed up, you will have ‘How I use engineering in my work’ and ‘How I use maths in my work’.

Filling out this section will help students see that STEM subjects don’t exist in isolation, but work together outside of the classroom. For example, an engineer also taking part in I’m a Mathematician might talk about how they use maths to model designs, or a scientist taking part in I’m a Computer Scientist might explain how computers help them analyse data.

Please take a moment to complete this new section. You can do so by going to your Dashboard, clicking ‘Edit your profile’, and adding a sentence or two into the relevant field. You can fill in these sections on any project – your answer will be automatically carried across.
