More than 10,000 young Londoners have benefited from an initiative to nurture the next generation of scientists and engineers, City Hall has said.

The London Scientist programme has been inspiring young people to investigate London's challenges – including projects to tackle air pollution or to support urban wildlife.

Since launching in 2018 with £70,000 investment from City Hall, external, the programme has funded primary and secondary schools with pupils who are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

It has enabled them to complete CREST Awards - the top science award scheme in the country2 - for free.

Sadiq Khan said: “Some of the most fascinating jobs in the world are in science, technology, engineering or maths and I want to see pupils from all backgrounds considering a career in this area.

“We must continue to make sure all young people have the information, opportunities and support they need to pursue STEM education, training and jobs, and eliminate stereotypes based on gender, class, ethnicity, and disability.”
