We’re thrilled to have partnered with AMD to bring impactful outreach into primary schools, helping inspire the next generation of STEM enthusiasts.

The UKESF Primary Electronics Programme offers a fun introduction to Electronic concepts, with cross-curricular learning outcomes. With industry support, the programme gives primary-aged pupils the chance to hear from real-world Electronics Engineers, who share their passion for the sector and lead engaging ‘snap circuits’ activities.

Katrina Goodfellow from AMD said: ‘This was my first time being involved in delivering a STEM event in primary schools, and I found it incredibly rewarding. Seeing the students’ curiosity, creativity, and determination as they explored how electronics work, and realizing that STEM really can be for everyone, is something I am genuinely proud to have been part of.’

Bookings for Girls into Electronics 2026 are now...OPEN 📢

Girls into Electronics is a brilliant opportunity for female students – aged 14 -17 (in years 10, 11 or 12) – to get an insight into what it’s like to pursue a rewarding career in Electronics.

Those attending will have the opportunity to:
👩‍🎓 Participate in a Q&A with female Electronics Engineers
🎤 Hear from an Apple engineer
🤖 Get hands-on with a microcontroller (that they can take home!)
🍎 Apply for the Apple Mentoring Program, following the event

This year, there will be one day events taking place at 15 of our wonderful partner universities, including: University of Strathclyde; The University of Edinburgh; King's College London; University of Southampton; Royal Holloway, University of London; University of Leeds; UCL

Now entering its fourth year, Girls into Electronics, with the support of Apple , has been attended by 1,500 students - from over 200 different schools - many of whom have gone on to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering at university!
