Renishaw opens new STEM Centre for Bristol school visits

By Bristol24/7  Monday Jul 24, 2023

An engineering technologies company has opened a new science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) outreach facility.

Renishaw hopes the new STEM Centre at its headquarters site in New Mills, Gloucestershire will strengthen its existing education outreach efforts.

It will provide a dedicated space for local school children to visit to learn more about STEM subjects and associated careers.

Renishaw’s STEM outreach programmes have links with primary and secondary schools across Bristol, Gloucestershire and South Wales.

As well as running sessions that complement the curriculum and add context to the students’ learning, the STEM outreach team also attend school careers events to promote Renishaw’s early careers opportunities.

The company hopes the new STEM Centre will provide further opportunities to focus engagement with underrepresented groups as part of its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8 — decent work and economic growth.

Rebecca Bound, early careers STEM outreach officer at Renishaw, said: “Following the success of Renishaw’s first dedicated education outreach facility at our manufacturing site at Miskin in South Wales, we have invested in this additional centre in Gloucestershire.

“The new centre will provide schools with access to additional workshop equipment and offer interactive sessions on STEM topics, with the added benefit of being located within a site that can showcase real-life engineering experiences.

“We believe that this really helps to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.”

Renishaw is a world leading supplier of measuring systems and production systems.

It is a global business, with more than 5,000 employees located in the 36 countries where it operates.

For the year ended June 2022 Renishaw recorded sales of £671.1m, of which 95 per cent was due to exports.
